According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Rangers are still interested in Athletics' closer Andrew Bailey. The Rangers already signed Joe Nathan this offseason, but they are still looking to fortify the back-end of their bullpen. Bailey, 27, is arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter and under team control through 2014. The Red Sox are also still in talks with the Athletics, despite acquiring closer-candidate Mark Melancon from the Astros last week.
