MLB Rumors: Liam Hendriks has been said to be available via trade from the Chicago White Sox this offseason, with Mark Feinsand listing him as one of ten players who could potentially be on the move as the offseason trade market heats up. Hendriks has experience closing and is under team control through 2024, being under contract for $14 million in 2023 and a team option that becomes guaranteed if he is traded for $15 million in 2024.
The Rangers have been widely reported to be in the market for bullpen help, and with no clear-cut closer option for 2023, I would suspect that they’d like to add someone with closing experience who they could anoint as the closer heading into ths spring training.
