Riding a six-game win streak, the Rangers are now tied with the Seattle Mariners at 56-50 for the third American League Wild Card spot.

In a shocking turn of events, the scorching-hot Rangers have positioned themselves to be buyers at the trade deadline.

When the second half of the season began, the Texas Rangers were 8.5 games out of first place in the American League West Division.

Texas seemed like a bubble team that would ultimately become sellers by July 31, but ESPN’s Buster Olney reported that the Rangers will now be aggressive buyers at the trade deadline.

Texas still holds the best team ERA in baseball and by a good margin, 3.18 to the second-place Royals' 3.50. The bullpen of mixed parts and pieces remains among the best in baseball, their ERA second in MLB behind the Astros.

The Texas Rangers are surging back into the AL Wild Card race but need to make a trade to make a postseason run.

That leaves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, a three-time All-Star who has had a down year to this point, as the biggest name to watch on the Braves roster between now and Thursday.

The Texas Rangers have emerged as one of many teams to watch at the trade deadline, and president Chris Young explained his squad's approach.

The Texas Rangers have clawed back into the race and could flip their former All-Star outfielder for a more consistent bat at the deadline.

The speed with which the Rangers went from sellers to buyers is quite impressive. Adolis Garcia was said to be on his way out of town for sure. Now it looks like everyone is staying put and some reinforcements are on the way, either hitters or pitchers.
