The Texas Rangers are reportedly one of the final two options for reliever Pedro Strop, who looks to be near a free agent decision. Hector Gomez, who covers baseball from the Dominican Republic tweeted out Wednesday night that Strop had narrowed his decision to two teams, one being the Rangers and the other being the Miami Marlins.
Strop, as many fans will remember, was once a part of the Rangers organization before landing with the Orioles and subsequently with the Cubs. In Chicago, he carved out an important role for himself emerging as one of the better relievers in baseball for the six and a half years he spent with the NL club.
