Rangers appearing in free agent rumors

MLB Rumors: Top free agents and the Texas Rangers have not, generally, been connected much in rumors in recent years (with one rather notable exception), as the team had (correctly, it appears) viewed its shutting window of contention and shaky farm system as not being the right situation to spend big on one of the top free agents on the market. Texas has been involved in free agency the last half-decade, but generally with targets that top out in the mid-level range. And while they have had success with Mike Minor, Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson on three year deals at around $10 million per year, the expectation is that a contending team with the Rangers’ financial wherewithal should be able to aim higher.
