Rangers acquire Zack Gr ... no, not that one. Here’s the Zack Gr they did acquire Sunday

This one required a double take.

The Texas Rangers acquired Zack Granite, an outfielder, from the Minnesota Twins on Sunday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Xavier Woods and cash.

Granite, whose first and last names share the same six letters as former Cy Young winner Zack Greinke, was designated for assignment by the Twins last week after they signed infielder Marwin Gonzalez.

Granite joins the 40-man roster, a spot the Rangers created by placing outfielder Scott Heineman on the 60-day disabled list, and gives the Rangers 69 players in their spring camp.
