Earlier this afternoon, Jon Morosi (MLB Network, Fox Sports) reported that Anthony DeSclafani was on their list of candidates for the rotation.
Anthony DeSclafani among the rotation names #Rangers are considering, as I reported on @MLBNetwork a short time ago. @MLB #Reds

Initial thoughts:
Anthony DeSclafani is worth a lot. He put together a solid 2015 (3.2 WAR for FanGraphs, 1.3 WAR for Baseball-Reference) in his first full season as a major league pitcher, with a strong second half.
