Ben Revere News
The Texas Rangers optioned outfielder Zack Granite to Triple-A Nashville and released outfielder Ben Revere on Tuesday. Granite hit just .214 (6-for-28) with no homers and no RBI, but he did steal four bases. He'll serve as organizational depth and can give the Rangers speed off the bench at some point this year. The 30-year-old Revere hit .286 (6-for-21) with no homers and an RBI this spring, but the Rangers would prefer to keep younger options for outfield depth.
The Texas Rangers signed outfielder Ben Revere to a minor-league contract on Monday, and he still feels he has plenty left in the tank at 30 years old. "Major League Baseball seems to think guys over 30 can't play. Some of those guys are still in their prime. It's a shock to me they won't trust guys over 30 and try to go younger instead. Guys over 30 can still play and compete and help you win games," Revere said. The veteran last appeared in the majors in 2017 with the Angels, hitting .275 with a homer, 20 RBI and 21 stolen bases over 109 games. He spent the entire 2018 season with Triple-A Salt Lake. Revere could find his way back to the majors in Texas, but right now he warrants little in the way of fantasy consideration.
The Los Angeles Angels have released outfielder Ben Revere on Thursday. Revere never saw time in the big leagues with the Angels this year and was hitting .277 with three home runs, 18 RBI and two steals over 40 games with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2018. He can provide speed and be a defensive replacement for another team, but it's unlikely he'll be a fantasy asset for the rest of the season.
