## Resource

The Texas Rangers made one key trade before the deadline, targeting bullpen depth and catching reinforcements — with a right-handed bat against lefties as a secondary priority. With injuries to key relievers like Jakob Junis and Chris Martin, and three inexperienced rookies in the pen, they’re eyeing veteran arms with 2-4 MLB seasons and postseason experience — not big contracts. They’ve moved players around (optioning Santos, recalling Curvelo, DFA’ing Gonzales) while staying budget-conscious. Though Yennier Cano is off the table, other affordable options remain. A starting pitcher? Too expensive for their current strategy. Their offense is solid enough — now it’s all about adding reliable, cost-effective relievers to compete in a tight AL West race.
