The Texas Rangers have claimed outfielder Dairon Blanco off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, who designated him for assignment to sign free agent Starling Marte. At 32, Blanco, acquired from the Athletics in 2019, hit .257 with seven home runs over four seasons with the Royals and was known for his speed, stealing 59 bases despite limited hits. He notably tied a club record with two home runs and 7 RBI in a single game on August 17, 2024. While occasionally erratic in the outfield, his offensive potential and base-stealing ability raise questions about the Royals’ decision to let him go.
