Rumors about the Texas Rangers interest in free agent Carlos Rodon are starting up before the World Series has even started (and before the World Series teams were even set, for that matter), and so we should probably should go ahead and take a look at the situation.
First of all, I think it is a given that the Rangers are going to be aggressive about adding starting pitching this offseason. Even if Martin Perez is re-signed (or is offered, and accepts, the qualifying offer), the Rangers probably need to add a couple of additional starting pitchers of the good type.
