Free-agent lefty Derek Holland's market appears to be the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.

Holland, 30, has spent all eight seasons of his major league career with the Texas Rangers, who did not pick up his team option for 2017.

This year, Holland went 7-9 with 4.95 ERA in 22 appearances for the Rangers, 20 of which were starts. He struck out 67 batters in 107 1/3 innings.

Holland has battled injuries the last two seasons and spent more than a month on the disabled list this year with left shoulder inflammation.

The Pirates are on Holland's short list, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Rob Biertempfel reported last month.

The White Sox starting rotation is down to four pitchers -- Jose Quintana, Carlos Rodon, James Shields and Miguel Gonzalez -- after Chicago traded ace Chris Sale to the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.
