The Rangers have designated infielder Jack Reinheimer for assignment, as per a team press release. The move creates roster space for Asdrubal Cabrera, whose one-year deal with Texas is now official.
It has already been a busy offseason for Reinheimer, who began November with the Mets but since went to both the Cubs and Rangers on waiver claims. Originally a fifth-round pick for the Mariners in the 2013 draft, Reinheimer has appeared in 23 Major League games, racking up 40 total plate appearances for the Mets and Diamondbacks in the last two seasons. The 26-year-old owns a .275/.343/.361 slash line over 2805 career PA in the minors, and has mostly lined up as a shortstop while also seeing quite a bit of time at second base and third base. This versatility could make him a claim target once more, though if he remains in the Texas organization, Reinheimer provides the Rangers with some infield depth in the minors.
Get him back Mets
Why? He’s not worth a 40 man roster spot
Exactly, they need another infielder
That is a name ….. and a pic to go with the name lol ….. I wouldn’t mess with that dude
O’s,O’s,O’s!!!!! Every single DFA’D player I’ve seen looks like an upgrade for their roster
Nice prediction!
