Geovany Soto, Jurickson Profar, Yu Darvish injured: Short-handed Rangers look to the trade market
Feliz is heading in the right direction at least, even if he is not major league-ready at this point. The Rangers have lost key players at second, in the rotation and behind the plate to injuries this spring and they may need to make some quick moves to fill those holes.
