Edinson Volquez looked impressive in a no decision on Sunday against the Rangers, tossing six innings and yielding just one run. That outing must have impressed Texas, because according to Rangers beat writer Evan Grant, the team is interested in acquiring the veteran right-hander before the August 1 trade deadline. The entire Rangers braintrust, including General Manager Jon Daniels, was in town today to see Volquez pitch. Grant notes that although Daniels has expressed a preference for pitchers signed beyond this year, the market may force him to settle for "rentals" like Volquez, who only has a $10 million mutual option for 2017.
