Here are today’s minor moves from around the league…
- The Rangers and outfielder Jordan Danks agreed to a minor league contract yesterday, reports Jon Heyman (Twitter link). The younger brother of White Sox left-hander John Danks, Jordan spent the 2015 season in the Phillies organization, where he received four big league plate appearances but was otherwise a fixture in the club’s Triple-A lineup, batting .257/.318/.368 with six homers and five steals in 448 plate appearances. Danks has a considerable amount of time in the Majors under his belt, having accumulated 390 big league plate appearances over the years — with 386 of them coming as a teammate of his brother with the ChiSox. He’s a career .224/.300/.322 hitter in the Majors and is capable of playing all three outfield positions.
