The Texas Rangers have been rumored to covet Trevor Story, the Colorado Rockies shortstop who is a native of the Metroplex, for some time. Story is slated to be a free agent after the season, and a couple of national writers have, in recent days, mentioned the Rangers in connection with Story once he hits the market.
Jon Heyman tweeted several days back that the Rangers, along with the San Francisco Giants and the Philadelphia Phillies, are “seen as likely to become big players” in this offseason’s shortstop market, which at this point would include not just Story, but also Francisco Lindor, Corey Seager, Carlos Correa and Javy Baez.
