The Texas Rangers designated former closer Sam Dyson for assignment on June 2nd, and set out to trade him. They did so on Tuesday, sending him to the San Francisco Giants, along with cash considerations, in exchange for a player yet to be named, or cash considerations.
Dyson has been terrible for the Rangers this season. He made 17 appearances for Texas, and somehow was the losing pitcher in six of those games, which is absolutely remarkable for a reliever. He gave up 23 runs (20 earned) and 43 baserunners (31 hits and 12 walks) in only 16.
