Rangers, Tyler Wade Agree To Minor League Deal
"He's a versatile but light-hitting utility player who posted a .212/.296/.245 batting line in 283 plate appearances with the Friars and carries a career .216/.294/.284 batting line (65 wRC+) in 992 turns at the plate in the majors. He has above-average speed but doesn't get on base frequently enough to make great use of that speed. However, he did swipe 17 bags in just 145 plate appearances with the 2021 Yankees"
"While Wade has been primarily a middle infielder in his career, he's also spent plenty of time at third base and has at least 133 innings at each of the three outfield spots. He's drawn solid marks for his glovework at second base but more tepid results at third base, shortstop and in the outfield. Texas recently traded Marcus Semien to the Mets and non-tendered Adolis Garcia."
Wade, 31, spent the past two seasons in the Padres organization and carries a career MLB batting line of .216/.294/.284 (65 wRC+) in 992 plate appearances. He posted a .212/.296/.245 line in 283 plate appearances with San Diego and offers above-average speed but limited on-base skills. He stole 17 bases in 145 plate appearances with the 2021 Yankees, partly as a pinch-runner. Wade has primarily played middle infield, logged time at third base, and recorded at least 133 innings at each outfield spot. He earns strong marks at second base defensively but less so at third, shortstop and in the outfield. The Rangers added him for veteran depth to compete for a bench role alongside several other non-roster or depth candidates.
