Rangers DFA 8-Year MLB Veteran Catcher

The Texas Rangers have decided to release veteran catcher Austin Wynns from their roster. The team informed that Wynns has been designated for assignment, ending his tenure with the Rangers. Alongside, the Rangers also announced that Danny Jansen, a catcher, has been activated from the 60-day injured list.

Wynns had a notable season with the Rangers, appearing in 14 games. He contributed with one home run, one RBI, and a .276 batting average. Wynns had previously played with other teams such as the Athletics and Atlanta Braves earlier in the season, making it a hectic year for the experienced catcher.

Wynns' versatility and MLB experience make him an attractive option for other teams in search of additional catching depth. With 312 career MLB games under his belt spanning eight seasons, Wynns has managed to hit 20 home runs, record 32 doubles, collect 85 RBI, and maintain a .230 batting average across his career with various teams, including the Baltimore Orioles, San Francisco Giants, Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado Rockies, Cincinnati Reds, Athletics, Braves, and most notably, the Rangers.

The Texas Rangers' decision to move on from Wynns could present an opportunity for other teams to secure a veteran catcher as a backup plan, should injury or other factors disrupt their current roster. Wynns' proven ability to perform at the MLB level could make him an appealing option for a team looking to bolster their catching corps.
