Rangers Claim Tyler Smith Off Waivers

By Steve Adams | July 30, 2017 at 1:06pm CDT

Infielder Tyler Smith, who was designated for assignment by the Mariners last week, was claimed off waivers today by the Rangers, according to an announcement from the Mariners.

Smith, 26, made his Major League debut with the Mariners this summer and appeared in 10 games, though he totaled just 19 plate appearances with a .188/.263/.250 slash in that minuscule sample. The second baseman/shortstop was hitting .239/.330/.347 with six homers and four steals through 330 PAs with Seattle’s Triple-A affiliate in Tacoma this season and figures to serve as infield depth in the upper minors with Texas for the time being.

    Here comes the first of many random claims and DFA’s for him until be appears back in the Majors in 2019 for handful of games on whatever team finally manages to get him through.

        He seems to be referring to corresponding move by Texas to clear a 40man spot
        …meaning Darvish and/or Lucroy possibly in final steps of being dealt

          True that, I stand corrected.

          Napoli or Cashner or Gomez or Hamels or Andrus or so on.

          Andrus’ value has probably never been higher but I cant see them moving him. I don’t care what they get for Napoli, Gomez, or Lucroy. They have to be dealt.

    Nobody NEEDS to be dealt, but i trust if they are that shrewd JD will bring back a ton of value for each guy dealt. Looking forward to the cries of fans on each team that deals with the Rangers at losing their top prospects.

      Who exactly do the Rangers have that would command top prospects other than Darvish?

        No one that will be traded. But Hamels, Beltre, and Elvis would bring in a haul. The other Rangers trade pieces would bring in mid-tier prospects.

    Kind of stupid claim unless they are going to move a infield piece like maybe Profar. Would have rather seen them take a waiver claim on Josh Edgin LH relief pitcher that the Mets just designated
