Rangers Sign Drew Stubbs

By Jeff Todd | May 16, 2017 at 3:02pm CDT

The Rangers have reached a minor-league deal with outfielder Drew Stubbs, per a club announcement. The 32-year-old will report to Triple-A Round Rock.

Stubbs was recently cut loose by the Giants after a 10-game run. He has seen a variety of similarly short stints over the past two seasons — including a pair with the Texas organization. Clearly, the sides are familiar with one another at this point.

[Related: Updated Texas Rangers depth chart]

All told, Stubbs owns a .242/.313/.391 batting line over his nine season of major league action. He was a regular contributor from 2010 through 2014, but has functioned more as a depth piece ever since he was cut loose by the Rockies early in 2015. He’s capable of playing center field and has handled lefties at a respectable clip throughout his career, so he could eventually resurface with the Rangers in a reserve capacity. Texas is without Carlos Gomez for the next four to six weeks due to a hamstring injury, so bringing Stubbs into the fold at Round Rock helps to cover that absence.

    This signing is the equivalent of a 3am booty call. Both parties are equally embarrassed that this rendezvous is happening again, but hey, its the easy/familiar move for instant relief in a desperate situation.

        As Kevin Bacon said in A Few Good Men – “These are the facts, and they cannot be denied.” Rangers gotta swallow their pride for this 3rd go-round. Stubbs kicked his pride to the curb several years ago.
