Rangers DFA Veteran Pitcher Martin | Texas Rangers News

Texas Rangers make a bold move on deadline day by designating veteran pitcher Chris Martin for assignment—his 40-year-old arm, plagued by injuries and a brutal 9.00 ERA, can’t keep up with the team’s rebuild. Signed to a $4M one-year deal this winter, Martin’s last appearance was July 11th, and now the Rangers are left on the hook unless another team claims him off waivers. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but sometimes roster moves like this are necessary to push forward. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
