The Texas Rangers are no strangers to salary dump trades.
Just recently, they made one with the Oakland A’s, sending Elvis Andrus out west for Khris Davis, Jonah Heim and Dane Acker.
In the trade, Texas was able to shed Andrus’ contract while picking up the expiring tab remaining on Davis’ pact.
As a result, the Rangers will have a mere $32 million committed in salaries going into 2022, which will position the organization well for pursuits of major free agents come next off-season.
