Rangers eye Mets reliever Luke Weaver as trade option ahead of deadline

The Texas Rangers are reportedly exploring options to bolster their bullpen as the trade deadline approaches. One potential target is Mets reliever Luke Weaver, who has posted a 2.03 ERA in 40 innings this season. Weaver has shown improvement this year, including a 27.1-inning scoreless streak earlier in the season. The Rangers are also interested in San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller, but acquiring him may require giving up significant prospects. Weaver, who is under contract for another season, offers a more attainable solution. Discussions about trading for him are expected to increase as the deadline nears.
