The Texas Rangers were surprisingly one of the more active teams at the trade deadline to end the week, acquiring help on the pitching staff both in terms of starters and relievers.

The Rangers sent left-handed pitcher Kohl Drake and right-hander David Hagaman, who are MLB.com’s No. 5 and No. 13 prospects in Texas’ farm system, to Arizona in exchange for Kelly, per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have traded Merrill Kelly to the Texas Rangers. 36-year-old right-hander has been with Arizona since he came to Major League Baseball back in 2019. This season, he is 9-6, with a 3.22 earned run average. In his career, he holds a 62-50 record. He sits with a 3.74 career ERA as well.
