The latest minor moves from around baseball…
- The Rangers have released infielder Chase d’Arnaud, according to the Pacific Coast League’s transactions page. Despite playing in the hitter-friendly PCL this season, the 32-year-old d’Arnaud posted a horrid .164/.275/.316 line (47 wRC+) in 178 plate appearances with the Rangers’ Triple-A club before his release. The major league journeyman and brother of Rays catcher Travis d’Arnaud is a .222/.273/.316 hitter (59 wRC+) in 599 PA at the game’s top level.

Ok mets now’s your chance. The d’Arnaud you really wanted

I d’Arnaud if having brothers on a team is wise. Seemed to be the straw that broke BJ, I mean Melvin, I mean BJ Upton’s back.

Travis has been long gone…but anything for the pun I guess…

Haha, absolutely. “I’m not a player I just pun a lot.” That’s a Big Pun reference. I’ll see my way out.

I’d say he’s playing injured, he wasn’t anywheres near as bad last year in AAA. And he wasn’t striking out so much either.

“D’Arnaud” is French for “brothers who suck at baseball”

But they made it to the major leagues. Most can’t say that.

For the life of me I can’t figure out how these players that just aren’t good at all keep finding teams to sign them. You can basically get this type of production from any minor leaguer.
