"It could be right-handed, it could be left-handed, probably an outfield DH type" - Insider expects Texas Rangers to make a push before the deadline
The Texas Rangers are on the verge of making a significant move before the trade deadline, according to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal. With one of the best records in the majors in July, the 2023 World Series title winners have emerged as strong contenders in their division.
Rosenthal expects the Rangers to make a push and become buyers at the trade deadline.
“The Rangers, I do expect to make a push here, and they see what is going on in the division. They played much better, best records in majors in July, I believe,” said Ken Rosenthal.
He elaborated on the type of player the Texas Rangers are seeking. According to him, the team is looking for another bat who can provide additional offensive firepower to complement their already strong lineup.
“It could be right-handed, it could be left-handed, probably an outfield DH type, but if they could do that, they would be feeling pretty good about themselves,” said Ken Rosenthal.
The Rangers' performance has been impressive, driven by a combination of solid play and strategic management. The team is seeing notable improvements in their game, making a strong case for their continued success.
The team’s strategy demonstrates its commitment to making an extensive run throughout the postseason. By adding a versatile hitter, they can address both immediate needs and areas where their line-up may fall short.
