Rangers 'very open' to trading Mike Olt
Mike Olt - 1B - Texas Rangers

ESPN's Buster Olney was told by rival executives that the Rangers are "very open" to trading Mike Olt.
With the Rangers losing out on Zack Greinke, there's a pretty good chance they'll wind up using Olt in a package for rotation help. Andy Martino of the New York Daily News has reported that the Mets turned down an offer of Olt for R.A. Dickey, and there were reports that the Indians were targeting him in the much-discussed potential 3-4 team deal. Olt would also make sense for the Rays in a package for James Shields.
