The Rangers are rumored to have inquired about Reds outfielder Jay Bruce, as the outfield situation appears a little shakier of late
Texas Rangers rumors: Jay Bruce of the Cincinnati Reds is being shopped, and the Texas Rangers have inquired on him, according to Jeff Passan.
My initial reaction to that is that this would be kind of odd, given that the Rangers' needs appear to be pitching, rather than the outfield, where they appear to be fairly well set. However, there was some discussion on Twitter last night with Jared Sandler about the issue, and giving some thought to it, the Rangers may be in a position where it makes sense to pursue an outfield bat -- something that I've balked at previously.
