The Seattle Navys just made a very interesting decision to help their external field struck.
Switch-Hitter Leody Taveras was claimed from the first place by the M of one of their Al West rivals, the Texas Rangers.

Seattle appointed the right -handers Luis F. Castillo (the inclusion of a central initial is important to note in this case) to make room on the list of 40 men for Taveras.
Taveras was placed on exemptions directly on Sunday by Texas, putting the Speedy 26 years old – and about $ 3.6 million remained on its salary of $ 4.75 million for 2025 – to be won while the external field of Rangers returned closer to full health.
The navies had problems remaining healthy in the outside field themselves, because they found themselves without their best option of strokes in the outside with Luke Raley on the injured list last week. It has a right oblique tension which should close it for at least six weeks.
Seattle is also without Victor Robles, who entered the season as a right of initially starting, but was released until mid-season with a shoulder injury.
The 6 -foot taveras 2 inches and 195 pounds reached .241 with a home run, three doubles, six bases stolen on seven attempts and a .601 OPS in 30 games this season. He has 23 stick withdrawal with only two walks in 82 plates appearances.
There is certainly a potential that getting Taveras could end up being a flight. He provided 2.3 FWAR in 143 games for the Rangers during their winning campaign of 2023 World Series. That year, he reduced .266 / .312 / .421 for a .733 ops with 14 circuits, 31 doubles and 14 interceptions out of 18 attempts. He struggled on the plate in 2023 (.229 / .289 / .352 Slash) but stole a career summit of 23 bases out of 29 attempts.
Taveras was a very classified perspective, considered one of the best players in the 2015 international class and took the complaint as a N ° 1 player in the Texas system before the 2017 season by Baseball America. He ranked in the 100 best prospect lists from several publications until 2019.
The navies, who were using Utility Man Miles Mastrobunoi and the recent Triple-A Callups Callups Samad Taylor and Rhylan Thomas in the right field during last week, also restored, the man of the public services Dylan Moore on the wounded list of 10 days on Tuesday. Moore strikes well against the left -handed pitch while Taveras swing better as a left -handed against right -handers, which makes it a potential peloton on the right for the moment.
The navies are currently in Sacramento, where they will play the second match in a three game series at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday evening against athletics. The Seattle Radio Sports Coverage will start at 6 p.m. with the pre-match show.
