Rangers open to Michael Bourn or Justin Upton
Michael Bourn - OF - Atlanta Braves

FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Rangers are "keeping lines of communication open" on free agent outfielder Michael Bourn.
The Rangers are also still interested in a possible trade for Diamondbacks' outfielder Justin Upton, though there's no indication that they are willing to deal either Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar. The Rangers are tentatively set to go with a platoon of Craig Gentry and Leonys Martin in center field, but Bourn could make sense if his price falls far enough. The one major catch is that the Rangers would have to give up their first-round draft pick in 2013 in order to sign him.
