The Texas Rangers will have an opportunity to cash in on some of their young, up and coming talent to find pitching prospects this offseason.

Despite being in a rough spot during this rebuild, the Texas Rangers still have plenty of talent to be coveted by other Major League clubs. Loaded with power hitters and young, relief pitching, is this offseason the right time to cash in and acquire starting pitching prospects that can help the club long term? I’m in the camp that says yes. While the club has some mainstays that would be departing, many of those players are luxuries when it comes to a rebuilding franchise.

So if the Texas Rangers are to have a “fire sale” of some of their top players, which ones go and which ones are kept? Who is a cornerstone of this team for years to come and who at this point is too much of a luxury?

In this, we’ll look at the three players that have tremendous value and should be moved on during this offseason.
