The Rangers have surrendered the most runs in the Major Leagues this year and must consider any possible upgrade to their pitching staff.
Matt Harvey is one of those options.
In last place in the American League West at 13-23, the Rangers have mild trade interest in Harvey, sources told MLB.com on Monday, at the outset of a pivotal week in the right-hander's career. The club has not confirmed an interest in acquiring the right-hander.
By designating Harvey for assignment last week -- often abbreviated "DFA" -- the Mets immediately removed Harvey from their 40-man roster and 25-man roster, and they have until Saturday to trade, release or place Harvey on irrevocable outright waivers.
