Rangers pursuing Lee
The Texas Rangers are aggressively pursuing Seattle Mariners ace Cliff Lee, who is expected to be dealt before the trade deadline.
The first-place Rangers haven’t made the playoffs in many years and know this might be their best chance.
Getting Lee would give the Rangers a vital missing piece to their team: A legit, top-of-the-rotation pitcher.
The Rangers have all the offense you could ever want and then some, but the pitching remains suspect.
After getting off to a slow start, Lee has turned things around is having a terrific season with the Mariners.
