The now 35 year old Asdrubal Cabrera started the 2019 season with the Texas Rangers on a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. He only managed a 235/.318/.393 slash line with the Rangers and Texas released Cabrera in late July. The Washington Nationals quickly picked him up and he became an instant contributor for them during their championship season.
Cabrera finished the 2019 season with a .260/.342/.441 batting output and also had 18 homers and 91 RBIs. He posted a very solid season considering how poorly it went most of the year while he was in Texas.
