Ex-Red Shin-Soo Choo giving $1,000 to every minor league player in Rangers’ farm system

Shin-Soo Choo is looking out for the younger players in the Texas Rangers minor league system during this pandemic.

The outfielder/designated hitter is giving each of the 190 minor league players in the Rangers' organization $1,000, Choo's agency, Scott Boras Corporation, confirmed to USA TODAY Sports.

Choo also donated to a Crush Covid initiative Boras started to raise funds for Direct Relief, an emergency aid organization.

The website cited a text exchange between Choo and minor league outfielder Eli White in March after camps were closed because of the coronavirus.
