ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Houston Astros ace Roy Oswalt will be pitching at Rangers Ballpark on Sunday.
Could he be on that mound in a pennant chase later this summer wearing a Texas Rangers uniform?
Rangers president and Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan has publicly acknowledged his team’s interest in acquiring the 32-year-old right-hander. Oswalt says that would be OK with him.
Oswalt said Friday before the opener of a three-game series against the Rangers that he would certainly be willing to be traded to the Rangers. Oswalt has said several times this season that he would waive his no-trade clause to go to a contender.
The Rangers’ 412-game lead in the AL West going into Friday was the largest of any division in baseball. Houston is near the bottom of the National League.
