"San Diego closer Heath Bell, considered the No. 1 reliever available as the July 31 trade deadline nears, said he has accepted that he might be dealt and knows that the Rangers are one of the teams who might land him.

The AL West leaders have scouted Bell this season and have long been tied to him as a possible bullpen addition. He said he'd even serve as a set-up man with a new team. The Rangers have Neftali Feliz in place as their closer."
