Rangers Shopping 3 Pitchers Ahead of Trade Deadline

The Texas Rangers are having talks with teams about pitchers MacKenzie Gore, Nathan Eovaldi, and Jacob Latz.

The Texas Rangers are reportedly considering parting ways with several of their pitchers as the MLB Trade Deadline approaches. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, the Rangers are engaged in discussions with other teams about potential trades involving MacKenzie Gore, Nathan Eovaldi, and Jacob Latz.

Gore, a 23-game veteran from this season, is a 6-foot-2 lefty who has a 6-9 record, a 4.77 ERA, and 136 strikeouts with the Rangers. Having been acquired from the Washington Nationals in the offseason, Gore's contract keeps him under team control through next season. If the Rangers decide to trade him, they might receive a favorable return.

Eovaldi, a seasoned veteran with 15 years of experience, has played 21 games for the Rangers this season. He boasts a 10-9 record, a 4.31 ERA, and 135 strikeouts. The two-time All-Star's extensive playoff experience makes him an attractive prospect for competing teams looking to bolster their roster.

Latz, who is currently in the midst of an All-Star season, has a 2-1 record, a 1.80 ERA, 21 saves, and 51 strikeouts in 40 games. For teams seeking bullpen strength, Latz could be an appealing trade option for the Rangers if the right offer materializes.
