Around 3 pm yesterday, it was announced that the Rangers claimed Juan Centeno from the Astros via waivers. Fans knew that there was a chance that he would be claimed, but the Rangers. Once again, the Rangers are trying to be the Astros of the north.
As they say, someone else’s trash is someone else’s treasure. Centeno is no way garbage. The Astros were hoping that he would clear waivers and keep him. After all, the Astros felt confident enough to have him on the ALCS and World Series roster as the third catcher.
After he was a big hit in three games versus the Tigers, Centeno came back to earth at the plate.
