According to Major League sources close to Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports, he reports that the Texas Rangers have checked-in with the Florida Marlins about their pitching availability. However, no names have been exchanged.

The source says that the talks are not far along, but Morosi adds that both sides would be good fits as trading partners given the Rangers’ rich Minor League system and the Marlins’ eagerness to deal veterans.

On Wednesday, Marlins’ President of Baseball Operations Larry Beinfest said that it’s undetermined in regards to the team’s July trade deadline strategy.

Candidates that the Marlins could move include Anibal Sanchez, Leo Nunez a or Ricky Nolasco.
