Who will buy what the Rangers are selling when the fire sale begins?

The Texas Rangers are more than likely going to be sellers at the 2025 trade deadline. As the season has unfolded, unlikely faces with short term deals have shown to be of value when it comes to trades.

The pitching is where the bulk of the talent lies. Players on short term deals such as Tyler Mahle, Hoby Milner, Patrick Corbin, and even Nathan Eovaldi could yield significant prospect value when it comes time to deal.

The offensive side might engage in a fire sale to salvage any form of value from this incredibly disappointing offense. They will likely be parting with Adolis Garcia at some point and Joc Pederson may soon follow based on play this season but will not headline any deals.

With all of that laid out, lets look at who might potentially be looking to buy what the Texas Rangers are selling:

Could the Los Angeles Dodgers raid the Rangers for even more pitching?

This pick will likely get a groan out of most fans followed by a "what else could they possibly need?" The answer to that question is healthy pitching.

The injured list of the Los Angeles Dodgers is longer than a grocery list for a family of ten. This team could really benefit from adding any of Tyler Mahle, Nathan Eovaldi, and Hoby Milner.

A lot of their injuries are not small ones either. Multiple pitchers have problems with Tommy John surgery, significant shoulder problems, and other small flare ups. This has lead to a team with a good record, but underachieving for maybe the greatest roster ever.

They certainly have the prospects to do so because they are the Dodgers. They have plenty of heavy hitters ready in the minor leagues that could benefit the Rangers and have a history of making big time deals with each other.

The Chicago Cubs could have their eye on one Rangers pitcher if all goes right

After exceeding expectations early on in 2025, the Cubs are likely going to be adding heavily to go "all in." Similar to the Dodgers, they are in need of healthy top of the line pitching.

I think they would fit the Rangers starters more as they have some electric defensive players to get outs for a guy like Tyler Mahle. I could see them unloading heavy parts of the farm in order to pry key arms away from the Rangers.

It is unknown as of now how much the Cubs will be buying but it will likely be significant. With Kyle Tucker's contract status, that may lead to a bit of unease of truly going all in at this deadline.

Regardless of where they stand on buying, I can only in my mind see Tyler Mahle pitching for them after the deadline. Along with us having what they need, prospects such as James Triantos and Moises Ballesteros fill spots where this a void in the Rangers system.

Boston Red Sox get in line for what's left of the Rangers' rotation

Not everything is pointing up in Boston record wise. What is pointing up is how their young players are faring to begin 2025.

The youth movement is taking over in Boston with the recent call up of star prospect Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony certainly soon following. This will lead them to retooling at areas and more than likely buying potential players the Rangers will have available.

Their starting rotation and bullpen leave a lot to be desired so far in 2025. Behind Garrett Crochet, there is not much that stands out. The main piece they would be interested in is Nathan Eovaldi.

Eovaldi was a key piece to their team in 2018 and the years following prior to Arlington. It is far from a guarantee that Eovaldi is even available. If he is available, the Red Sox have the farm players to match the price tag.

It is known there was mutual interest between the two this offseason. The question now is whether or not Eovaldi is willing to waive his no trade clause, and if he does will Boston pay a premium to get him?
