The Texas Rangers have released infielder Jonah Bride, making him a free agent eligible to sign with any team. Bride, 30, performed well at Triple-A Round Rock this season, posting a .271/.389/.418 line with a low strikeout rate and solid walk rate, which is 12% above league average. His release is surprising given the injuries to key players like Corey Seager, Cody Freeman, and Michael Helman. Despite limited major league success, Bride has proven to be a reliable depth player and may attract interest from other clubs or leagues.
