He's no Shohei Ohtani, but former White Sox slugger Matt Davidson wants to fill a 2-way role for Rangers

One thing Matt Davidson wanted to make perfectly clear Tuesday was his intentions as a two-way player.

The Rangers won’t have to juggle the next Shohei Ohtani.

No compatible source was found for this media.

“I don’t want it to seem like I can just go to the big leagues and be a good pitcher,” Davidson said.

Davidson, though, comes to spring training with plenty of intrigue after morphing into a two-way player last season with the White Sox. He made three scoreless one-inning appearances, his first June 29 at Globe Life Park, and allowed a hit and a walk to put himself in position to possibly pitch more the rest of his career.
