ESPN's Buster Olney reported Friday afternoon that the Texas Rangers were among the teams in discussions with the Tampa Bay Rays about Isaac Paredes and Yandy Díaz. Díaz made the All-Star team in 2023 as a first baseman and Paredes was an All-Star third baseman this summer. This comes just after The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported the Rangers were looking for a bat and had called about Díaz.

As Kikuchi made his way to the dugout, he doffed his cap twice as fans at the Rogers Centre showed their appreciation by warmly applauding the left-hander. For someone who has always left everything out on the mound, Kikuchi is fully aware of what awaits.

The Frisco Rough Riders fielded a star-studded roster on Friday night vs. Tulsa. The player who made his Double-A debut might've dazzled harder than anyone else. Right-handed pitcher Kumar Rocker threw three scoreless innings in Frisco's 2-0 loss to Tulsa, allowed just one hit, struck out four batters and walked none. Rocker, the organization's third-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery last May after just six professional starts for High-A Hickory.

Baseball's trade deadline will still find a way to captivate. “It's hard not to [pay attention] with the big, bold red font that comes across the bottom of the TV every couple of minutes,” first baseman Nathaniel Lowe said Friday inside the Rogers Centre visiting clubhouse. Be the smartest Rangers fan. The second-place Seattle Mariners — who began play Friday with a one-and-a-half game lead over the Rangers in the American League West — struck the first significant deadline blow late Thursday night when they dealt a pair of prospects to the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfielder Randy Arozarena.

Ernie Clement singled in the ninth inning to give the Toronto Blue Jays a 6-5 victory over Texas on Friday night, ending the defending champion Rangers' winning streak at five. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached base four times as the Blue Jays snapped a six-game losing streak against the Rangers. Justin Turner hit a one-out single off Josh Sborz (2-1) in the ninth and was replaced by Steward Berroa, who stole second.

As if the Texas Rangers needed a reminder. Rookie outfielder Evan Carter was sent to visit a California-based specialist on Friday for a checkup on the stress reaction in his back, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said prior to Texas' series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. Carter will be shut down from baseball activity until the Rangers get a report back on his status.

The Toronto Blue Jays recalled pitcher Yerry Rodriguez from Triple-A Buffalo and activated him ahead of Friday's game against the Texas Rangers.

The Texas Rangers picked last in this month's MLB draft and were still able to replenish their farm system. Four draftees cracked the organization's top 30 prospects list according to Baseball America's updated rankings, including first-round pick Malcolm Moore — a catcher from Stanford — who is now the club's third-ranked prospect behind shortstop Sebastian Walcott (No. 1) and infielder Justin Foscue (No. 2).

The Texas Rangers will have some tough decisions to make over the next few days. Texas currently is five games back of an American League Wild Card spot but is only 2 1/2 games behind the Houston Astros for the top spot in the American League West. The Rangers have been mentioned as possible sellers, but that doesn't seem like it's going to be the case. The Rangers have won five straight games and are about to get some major pieces back, including Jacob deGrom.

The Chicago White Sox are having an historically bad season. With just 27 wins as we near August, the Southsiders were just what the doctor ordered for a Texas club that was sitting directly on the fence ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline.

To that end, the Rangers are now just 2.5 games out of first place in the hotly contested American League West.
