Rangers Target Familiar Reliever John King | Miami Marlins News

The Texas Rangers are in a tense AL West race, trailing the Astros by half a game with the trade deadline looming — and they’re eyeing a bullpen upgrade. After adding Chase Silseth and Logan O’Hoppe, the focus turns to John King, the lefty reliever they traded away in 2023. Now with Miami, King’s been elite: 6-2, 2.51 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and a .160 batting average against. His ground-ball inducing style fits perfectly at Globe Life Field, and acquiring him would only cost the Rangers the remainder of his $1.5M salary — plus he’s arbitration-eligible next year. A smart, familiar, affordable fix for their bullpen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
