The Texas Rangers have received Andres Mesa as the player to be named later in the December, 2020, trade that sent Rafael Montero to the Seattle Mariners, it was announced today.
The Rangers traded Montero to the Mariners on December 15, 2020, and a player to be named later in a deal must be selected within six months, under MLB rules, so the Rangers apparently waited until the last possible moment to make their pick. The Rangers also received pitcher Jose Corniell from the Mariners at the time the deal was announced.
Both Mesa and Corniell were part of the Mariners’ 2019-20 J-2 class.
