Rangers weigh trades for Gore and Eovaldi as they balance playoff push and payroll

Texas Rangers are open to trading controllable starters MacKenzie Gore and Nathan Eovaldi, weighing whether to sell or make modest buys to balance payroll with their playoff hopes; Gore is easier to move due to arbitration control and a modest salary, while Eovaldi’s $25M salary and no-trade clause complicate a deal, with Jacob Latz seen as less likely to move.
