When the Texas Rangers announced the trade that sent Elvis Andrus and Aramis Garcia to the Oakland A’s, along with some cash, for Khris Davis, Jonah Heim and Dane Acker, my initial reaction was that Davis was the new Austin Jackson, a player that the Rangers acquired because they were taking on salary in order to buy some prospects from a Bay Area team, but who wasn’t actually going to play for them or spend any time on the 40 man roster. I said when the news broke that the trade was happening that I expected the Rangers to designate Davis for assignment immediately.
