The Texas Rangers have a hole in the outfield and the St. Louis Cardinals one in the infield, but the two clubs haven't discussed swapping their top prospects.

Oscar Taveras is one of the game's best outfield prospects, while Jurickson Profar is one of the best shortstop prospects.

"It makes all sorts of sense and there is no way to do it," said an official with an American League team who has scouted both players. "The Cardinals need a shortstop. The Rangers need an outfielder. The answer is there for both for years to come. You just can't do it. You can't be the guy who is wrong if one works out and becomes a star as expected and the other doesn't.

"Then you're the new Brock-for-Broglio guy."
