The Texas Rangers head to Toronto to face the Blue Jays in a three-game series after a well-timed sweep of the worst team in baseball.
The Rangers (51-52) have won five straight games, including a four-game sweep of the Chicago White Sox that ended Thursday with a 2-1 win. The streak has put the Rangers back in position in the American League West.
Texas is just 2.5 games behind the Houston Astros in the divisional race. More importantly, the Rangers are now in a position where they can buy at the trade deadline as opposed to sell, which seemed to be the lean less than a week ago.
What might the Rangers try to get at the deadline? Likely another bat to help the offense? Perhaps another starting pitcher to help bolster the rotation? Maybe a reliever to augment the bullpen? It probably won’t be all three, so the Rangers have to prioritize.
Some see the Blue Jays (52-51) are 9.5 games back in the AL East and some see them as sellers at the deadline. But would Toronto have anything that might interest the Rangers?
Entering the series, all Texas is interested in is more wins.
