The Texas Rangers continued adding to their spring roster Sunday morning, when a source confirmed that the club has agreed to a minor-league deal with outfielder Ben Revere.
Revere didn’t play in the major leagues last season, in part because of injury, but has extensive big-league time thanks to his speed. But the source said that Revere isn’t coming to the Rangers to compete with Delino DeShields to be the regular center fielder.
The Rangers are short on outfielders at Triple A with Scott Heineman, the reigning Minor League Player of the Year, out until late April after a December operation on his left/non-throwing shoulder.
