Latest on R.A. Dickey: Rangers among those interested

R.A. Dickey white polaroidThe Rangers are interested in acquiring R.A. Dickey from the Mets, reports T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com.

According to Sullivan, the Rangers want to meet with the Mets regarding Dickey at the Winter Meetings.

The Rangers originally selected Dickey in the 1996 first-year player draft. He went 16-19 with a 5.72 ERA 77 games and 33 starts with the Rangers from 2001-2006. The Rangers sent Dickey to the Minor Leagues in 2005 so he can begin learning to throw a knuckleball.

If R.A. were to wind up in Texas, his career would officially come full circle. It remains to be seen if the two teams can find a match, and it's worth noting that Texas reportedly was unwilling to deal top prospect Jurickson Profar (a shortstop) in a deal for Justin Upton. Mike Olt could be an option although he projects more as a corner infielder at this time. No matter what, like I said yesterday about a deal with the Royals for Wil Myers, Texas has to be weary of dealing such young, high ceiling guys for a 38-year-old pitcher.
