Two trades to announce!!!
The Texas Rangers have acquired
Brian Anderson from the Miami Marlins!
Anderson Tejeda is the main piece heading to Miami. He just turned 25 on May 1st and has one option year remaining.
Cooper Davis was a MiLB free agent we signed as an org filler guy.
Sergio Pacheco is turning 24 soon and will be a MiLB free agent after this season (was in AA with us).
Brian Anderson will be our everyday 3B and
Josh Jung will slide over to 1B.
John Nogowski will move to a bench role / platoon DH vs LHP.
Also, we have acquired
Corey Knebel from the Cubs!
We are essentially flipping
Brett Martin for
Corey Knebel (who is on an expiring contract).
David Garcia is a switch hitting catcher prospect who was targeted by a number of teams in trade talks.
His catcher ability is 60 and he does have a decent bat (.713 career MiLB OPS).
A.J. Alexy has been optioned to AAA to make room on the active roster.
