DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - The Texas Rangers have agreed to a minor league deal with former New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird, according to multiple reports.
Bird's deal includes an invite to the club's major league camp, which is set to begin on Feb. 10 when pitchers and catchers report.
Bird, a 27-year-old left-handed hitter, was limited to just 10 games in 2019 due to a plantar fascia tear in his left foot. He's shown some power potential when healthy, but hasn't been able to hit for a high average.
Various injuries have limited him to just 186 games since the Yankees brought him up in 2015. He has a career .211 average with 32 home runs and 98 RBI.
