Fantasy Impact

The Red Sox acquired OF Delino DeShields from the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

DeShields was acquired for cash considerations and optioned to Triple-A. He was on a minor league contract with Texas and wasn't on the 40-man roster, which is why the trade was allowed. He'll serve as outfield depth in Boston.

Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic is reporting that the Yankees are interested in acquiring OF Delino DeShields from the Texas Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

The Yankees are looking for outfield depth after Aaron Hicks, Giancarlo Stanton, Ryan LaMarre on the 10-day injured list. Clint Frazier is also dealing with a neck issue. DeShields is off to a hot start in Triple-A, slashing 412/.500/.706 in 40 plate appearances. The 28-year-old would provide the Yankees outfield depth but is mainly an option in AL-Only league formats.

OF Delino Deshields won’t make the Rangers roster.

Fantasy Impact

DeShields joined the Rangers as a non-roster invitee in February, but ultimately was released. He’s a career .246/.326/.340 hitter and doesn’t offer much offensively beyond his speed. DeShields will look to latch onto another team.

Outfielder Delino DeShields has returned to the Texas Rangers after coming to agreement on a minor-league deal.

Fantasy Impact

After spending the first five seasons of his career in Texas, DeShields played one year in Cleveland after being part of the Corey Kluber trade, where posted a .252/.310/.318 batting line across 37 games played last season. DeShields will likely have to earn his spot on the Rangers roster at spring training.
