You can add the Texas Rangers to the list of potential suitors for Justin Upton.

Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine confirmed Sunday on MLB Network Radio that the club has long admired Upton, and is monitoring his status in free agency.

The news comes days after Upton's agent denied a report that his client isn't considering short-term deals, and is only interested in negotiating a long-term pact, despite a saturated outfield market this offseason.

Delino DeShields Jr., Shin-Soo Choo, and Josh Hamilton are projected to patrol the grass for Texas next season, but given Hamilton's recent injury woes, adding a proven right-handed hitting corner outfielder to the mix would certainly enhance an already stacked lineup.

Upton, who rejected the San Diego Padres' $15.8-million qualifying offer in November, enjoyed another solid campaign in 2015, hitting .251/.336/.454 with 26 homers and 19 stolen bases.

The Baltimore Orioles and Los Angeles Angels are also competing for Upton's services.
