You want the Rangers to trade for pitchers? The Rangers have traded for pitchers.
The official deal is Jordan Montgomery, Chris Stratton and international bonus pool money to the Rangers in exchange for Thomas Saggese, T.K. Roby and John King. Montgomery joins the rotation, Stratton the bullpen. Both pitchers are free agents after the 2023 season, so they are pure rentals.
