Texas Rangers trade rumors: Kyle Gibson and Ian Kennedy are close to going to the Philadelphia Phillies, per reports. Jeff Passan says it is pitcher Spencer Howard and two other prospects going to Texas in the deal.
Gibson was signed to a three year deal prior to the 2020 season, and he had a rough 2020 campaign that made that deal look questionable. Gibson has been terrific for the Rangers this year, was named to the American League All Star team, and has been among the best pitchers in the A.L. for much of the season.
