Former Tampa Bay Rays‘ fan-favorite, Matt Duffy has rebounded after being designated for assignment by the Rays in November.
It was announced earlier today (Jan. 30th) that Duffy had signed a Minor League contract with an invite to Spring Training with the Texas Rangers.
According to MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan, Duffy will have a chance to compete for a utility infielder spot. If he shows well in spring he could even earn an opportunity for some platoon work at first base.
The Rangers previously signed third baseman Todd Frazier this offseason.
