Willie Calhoun is coming to the Texas Rangers, though for how long and at whose expense remains unknown.
The outfielder, acquired as the centerpiece of the Yu Darvish trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers last year, tweeted “Dallas” followed by three airplane emojis to spark speculation. He deleted the tweet, but a club official confirmed that Calhoun was being promoted from Triple A Round Rock.
The Rangers have an open roster spot after trading Jesse Chavez late Thursday, but to promote a position player would leave them with only a six-man bullpen. That would be for only one day, though, as Alex Claudio is expected to come off the disabled list.
