PT TOMORROW: AL WEST—On the move?

Texas Rangers

Apart from Lance Lynn (RHP, TEX) and the development of the bullpen, the club has been an 11-18 disaster. With an offense just third from the bottom in MLB scoring and a rotation with a fifth-from-the-bottom 5.45 ERA even with Lynn, we wonder how the Rangers have won that many games. A legitimate Cy Young candidate controlled through 2021 at a paltry $9M+, Lynn would seem to be untouchable in most situations. But now on a club with seemingly little hope of competing next season and desperate need of help almost everywhere aside from the pen, Lynn may be the trade market's hottest pitching commodity.
