Texas is in need of a right-handed batter. Trumbo, 30, registered 157 hits, 108 RBIs, and blasted 47 homers last season, which are career-highs. He led the American League in homers. He’d be a perfect fit for the Texas Rangers organization.
If he does sign with Texas, he’ll probably play first base and serve as the team’s designated hitter. Trumbo’s primary position is right field. Shin-Soo Choo is currently the Rangers’ starting right-fielder, so there’s an alternative option for Trumbo. If Choo gets hurt, Trumbo is likely to fill in at right field.
Rumor has it that Mitch Moreland is reportedly close to signing with the Boston Red Sox.
