Rangers acquire Austin Jackson, Cory Gearrin in trade with Giants

The Texas Rangers added a pair of veteran players Sunday, acquiring outfielder Austin Jackson and right-hander Cory Gearrin in a trade with the San Francisco Giants.

Texas also acquired minor league right-hander Jason Bahr from San Francisco, which received a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Jackson, 31, batted .242 with 13 RBIs in 59 games this season for the Giants. Gearrin, 32, posted a 4.20 ERA in 35 relief appearances with San Francisco.

To make room for Jackson and Gearrin on their 40-man roster, the Rangers transferred pitchers Matt Bush and Tony Barnette to the 60-day disabled list.
