The Texas Rangers inquired with the Boston Red Sox about a trade for Steven Wright this past winter.

Wright, who had never started more than nine games, was out of options at that point but the Red Sox didn't budge.

"We asked about him this winter and they did not want to move him," Jon Daniels said.

Wright, who will turn 32 in August, has a 2.18 ERA and 84 strikeouts in 103 innings this season.
