What happened: The Rangers are likely to seek catching depth before the upcoming MLB trade deadline, according to the Dallas News. Upgrading the position may be difficult due to the limited options available on the trade market.
Why it matters: Texas has an immediate need behind the plate with both of its opening-day catchers sidelined on the injured list. Addressing the position is a priority for the club as it navigates the final days before the deadline.
By the numbers: The Rangers hold a 48-48 record this season, scoring 4.3 runs per game while allowing 4.6.
What to watch: The club will need to evaluate the trade market for available catchers over the coming days.
