The Texas Rangers have claimed right-hander Logan Verrett off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles and added him to their 25 man roster.
Verrett, 24, had been selected by the Orioles from the Mets in December’s Rule 5 Draft. The Rangers will have to carry Verrett all season long or expose him to waivers again. If he clears waivers, Verrett will be offered back to the Mets for $25K.
The former Mets top prospect had a solid big-league camp posting a 1.93 ERA and 1.14 WHIP in 14 innings with 12 strikeouts and just two walks.
