Things have a funny way of changing in the major leagues. One day's denial could be the next day's fake news.
As of Monday, though, the Texas Rangers were not attempting to acquire right-hander Matt Harvey despite a report saying there was "mild" interest in trading for him.
That's not to say, however, that people with the Rangers don't want Harvey, who was designated for assignment Saturday by the New York Mets after refusing an assignment to the minor leagues.
Two club sources said that the report isn't true, even with the struggles left-hander Matt Moore has experienced this season.
