One of the players who, throughout free agency, I thought was a good match for the Texas Rangers is center fielder Jarrod Dyson. The Rangers have indicated that upgrading their defense is a priority, and Dyson has been, during his career, an elite defender in center field. The Rangers are looking for cheap, short-term deals, and Dyson was expected to get a short-term deal on a low average annual value. The Rangers have uncertainty in their backup outfield situation, and in particular a back up center fielder, and Dyson would fit the bill perfectly.
Alas, Jarrod Dyson signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks yesterday.
