The Texas Rangers are in an interesting situation at the moment, one game above .500 but 5.5 games out of the second Wild Card spot. With the trade deadline only five days away and the Rangers scheduled to play a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics, Texas more than likely will be selling at this deadline.
The Rays have already been rumored to have inquired with the Rangers about outfielder Hunter Pence, but maybe they should try and contact the Rangers about another player: 33-year-old right-handed reliever Chris Martin, who stands at 6 feet, 8 inches tall, and is currently having a career season on the mound.
