With all due respect to the Texas Rangers, who enjoyed a marvelous weekend at Minute Maid Park, what they did against the Houston Astros isn’t the biggest news involving the organization.
The nonwaiver trade deadline, which arrives Tuesday, continues to hang over the Rangers. Keone Kela, Jake Diekman and Adrian Beltre are the three most prominent names, but the Rangers have listened on multiple others.
Joey Gallo and Shin-Soo Choo are unlikely to be traded, sources said, but it would not be a surprise to see any reliever moved. As general manager Jon Daniels said on Friday, the Rangers are at the point where they must listen to all offers.
