The New York Yankees and Texas Rangers have Josh Hader on their radar, but view the reliever more as a fallback option should they fail to land an impact starter.

Blake Snell and Jordan Montgomery currently headline the free agent market for starting pitchers.

"If these teams can't sign a Snell or Montgomery, they may pivot to Hader and build up the back end of the game," a source said. "He may have to wait a little while."
