The Texas Rangers are expressing interest in Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Vincent Velasquez according to FOX Sports' Jon Morosi.
Velasquez is only 24 years old and having a very good season in Philadelphia, so it would take a massive offer for the Rangers to even get the Phillies to consider it. Velasquez is still under control for the next five years, so a move now would be surprising.
Velasquez owns an impressive 3.34 ERA and 2.04 nERD this season across 92 2/3 innings pitched. Our models project him to post a 4.19 ERA and 23.20 strikeout rate over 68 2/3 innings left this year.
