Rangers Cut Speedster Dairon Blanco After Brief Triple-A Stint
Texas has released outfielder Dairon Blanco, ending his short tenure with the organization following a waiver claim earlier this spring.
The Rangers released outfielder Dairon Blanco, who had been assigned to their Triple-A affiliate. Blanco, 33, originally joined Texas via a waiver claim in March after being designated by Kansas City. He was subsequently passed through outright waivers, meaning he was not on the 40-man roster at the time of his release. A noted speedster with a platoon-heavy track record, Blanco slashed .257/.312/.416 in 285 career MLB plate appearances with the Royals.
