Report: Rangers have talked to White Sox about Quintana
The Texas Rangers are reportedly making the rounds as they look to upgrade their starting rotation.
The Rangers have talked to the Chicago White Sox about starting pitcher Jose Quintana, but there's limited traction due to differences in perceived value, sources told FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
The Rangers' rotation has been a cause for concern as of late, as the team currently ranks 23rd in ERA (4.42) and has given up the sixth-most home runs per nine innings at 1.31.
Quintana, 27, has been a bright spot for the White Sox this season, registering 3.6 WAR and 3.33 FIP - putting him ahead of Sale in both categories. He also boasts the American League's third-best ERA at 2.89, according to FanGraphs. He has three years left on the $25-million deal he signed in 2014.
Rosenthal noted that the Rangers have asked about Chris Sale as well, though his asking price remains extremely high.
