Rangers Release Trevor Plouffe

By Jeff Todd | March 23, 2018 at 4:09pm CDT

The Rangers have released third baseman Trevor Plouffe, MLB.com’s TR Sullivan was among those to report via Twitter. He had been in camp with the team on a minor-league deal.

It’s still possible the 31-year-old will end up re-joining the organization to play at Triple-A, Sullivan notes. First, though, he’ll look into other opportunities with other teams.

Plouffe turned in a middling performance in camp, with just six base hits in his 34 trips to the plate. With the Rangers deciding to keep Jurickson Profar in the infield and otherwise carrying a full slate of healthy starters, there was no room for the veteran Plouffe.

During his seven seasons with the Twins, Plouffe was generally a solid regular at the hot corner. But he failed to make good on a one-year pact with the Athletics in 2017 and continued to struggle upon landing with the Rays in the middle of the season. He ended with a .198/.272/.318 batting line in 313 MLB plate appearances last year.

    I like Plouffe, hope he makes an MLB club somewhere. He’s got the best walkup music in baseball.

    If Plouffe had made the team he still would not have made as much as Steve Adams will make this year at mlbtraderumors.

      You’ve been riding this Plouffe train way too long. You should probably hang it up man.

    “Plouffe” is a word used when you exclaim how hot it is outside and burp at the same time. As in, “Plouffe- it’s hot as Hell out here!”

          Plouffe, from Summers Eve has been known to increase a woman’s chance of cervical cancer. Hate to be a Debbie downer, but ignoring a fact doesn’t make it go away!

    Unless a starting 3B for a team who has no organizational depth whatsoever goes down with a serious injury in the next few days, I don’t see Plouffe landing a gig. Japan or Korea might have a roster spot, but I don’t see him in the majors this year.
