Rant Sports: Roy Oswalt Wants to Pitch for Texas Rangers
The Texas Rangers recently acquired Japanese pitching sensation Yu Darvish, but he’s never pitched in America. A three-time All-Star who has pitched in the big leagues for a decade is interested in joining the Rangers and Texas would be crazy not to take advantage of it. Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Roy Oswalt is a free agent and a source close to the Phillies said he wants to pitch for the Rangers.
ESPN Boston’s Gordon Edes wrote late Wednesday night that a Red Sox source said the team is afraid they won’t be able to sign Oswalt via free agency due to his interest in the Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals.
What free agent pitcher wouldn’t want to join either of the 2011 World Series participants? At 34 years old, Oswalt is likely looking for his last big deal and even major issues with his back aren’t hindering teams’ pursuit of him this offseason.
