Kela has recorded 24 saves in 25 opportunities while pitching to a 3.44 ERA in 38 appearances in 2018.
Texas reportedly knows which players it will be receiving in return, but the names will not be announced until Tuesday.
The #Rangers know who they are getting from the #Pirates for Kela. The delay in naming the players is due to the difficulty of contacting them at this late hour, sources say.
