In this story:

The Texas Rangers have the trade deadline in sight and a three-game series at the St. Louis Cardinals that starts on Monday at Busch Stadium.

The question is what kind of team will return to Arlington for the next homestand?

Already, Texas traded a couple of minor league players to acquire Detroit Tigers catcher Carson Kelly as an additional bat. But with less than two days left until the 5 p.m. Tuesday trade deadline, the Rangers may do more.

Texas (51-55) went to Toronto on Friday less than three games back of the Houston Astros in the American League West and heads to St. Louis having lost two games in the standings after the Blue Jays swept them.

It was a definite setback for a team entering the Toronto series was tied for the best record in baseball in July.

St. Louis (54-51) are in the playoff race, too, as the Cardinals are six games back of the Milwaukee Brewers in the NL Central. The Cardinals need the wins as much as the Rangers do.   

Here is the preview for the game, with probable pitchers, how to watch, listen and more.
