Brock Holt is heading to his third organization in the last year. According to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal, the former Red Sox utility man has agreed to a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers.
Rosenthal reports that Holt could earn up to $1.75 million at the big-league level with incentives, and that he chose the Rangers over major-league offers because of the opportunity they have at third base.
Holt signed with the Milwaukee Brewers last offseason, but wound up getting designated for assignment on Aug. 22 after getting off to a tough start through the first month of the season.
He signed with the Washington Nationals a week later and fared a bit better there, hitting .262 with a .668 OPS in 65 at-bats over 20 games.
Holt spent seven seasons in Boston from 2013-19 and won two World Series with the team in 2013 and 2018. During Game 3 of the 2018 ALDS against the Yankees, he became the first player in MLB history to hit for the cycle in a playoff game.
Holt became a fan and community favorite, thanks in part to his extensive work with The Jimmy Fund.
