MLB Insider Reports Rangers Will Be Active At MLB Trade Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Texas Rangers have stormed back into the playoff race after a tough start to the season that looked to be lost, and are now entering trade season with a chance to make a push. One MLB insider believes Texas will get bold before Thursday's MLB trade deadline. "They're going to be looking for a right-handed hitter, and perhaps more importantly, high-leverage relievers," Ken Rosenthal said on "Fair Territory". ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Marcus Semien #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates following the team's tenth inning win against the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington,... ARLINGTON, TX - JULY 26: Marcus Semien #2 of the Texas Rangers celebrates with teammates following the team's tenth inning win against the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field on July 26, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. More Photo byThe Rangers enter Tuesday a half-game back of the Boston Red Sox for the final wild-card spot in the American League and just 4 games back of the Houston Astros for the AL West. While the Astros have 18 players on the injured list, the Rangers are getting ready to make a run at the division title. Rosenthal notes that the Rangers are going to be in the market for high-leverage relievers. While the Rangers have the third-best bullpen ERA this season, they have blown the fifth-most saves as a group. Just about every contender is in the market for bullpen help, but there are some quality options on the market this year. The Rangers should be calling the St. Louis Cardinals about Ryan Helsley and the Minnesota Twins about Jhoan Duran as the deadline inches closer to give them the arm that they need to secure games and reach the postseason. Rosenthal also mentions that they should be in the market for a right-handed bat, and while the market is thin on power hitting, the Rangers could find a serviceable bat to add to their lineup for the final stretch. The Rangers should be handling the needs of their bullpen before making any changes to their offense.

Rangers Linked To Shocking Deal For $5.9M Closer At Trade Deadline
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Texas Rangers have floated around .500 for a while now, and it's kept them firmly in the postseason race. With a few months to go in the season and the Rangers only half a game back of the third wild-card spot in the American League, it's safe to assume Texas will be buying a little bit at the trade deadline. The Rangers have multiple needs at the deadline, but they can patch a few of these holes with affordable options in the next few days. Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette recently reported the Rangers had been in contact with the Pittsburgh Pirates about a potential deal for closer David Bednar. PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 7: David Bednar #51 of the Pittsburgh Pirates celebrates with Henry Davis #32 after the final out in a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies during the game at PNC Park... PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA - JUNE 7: David Bednar #51 of the Pittsburgh Pirates celebrates with Henry Davis #32 after the final out in a 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies during the game at PNC Park on June 7, 2025 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More"The (Detroit) Tigers, (Philadelphia) Phillies, and Rangers are three clubs that have contacted the Pirates about Bednar," Hiles wrote. "With a handful of others likely interested, general manager Ben Cherington is looking to sell high on his blue-chip bullpen asset. "Per league sources, the asking price for Bednar has included, at minimum, an organization's top-five prospect. While for some relievers this could be viewed as an ambitious goal, one league source suggests this to be a fair starting point for a player of Bednar's caliber." Trading for Bednar would be a huge for the Rangers. The closer's role hasn't been great in Texas, and adding Bednar would give them the solution they need. Bednar is also more than a rental. He's under contract through next season and would stay in Texas beyond these next few months. The Rangers would go into next season with a clear option at closer. The asking price of a top-five prospect might be steep, but the Rangers seem desperate. If they want to compete for a World Series again, it's time for them to make some big moves.
