Arlington, Texas The Texas Rangers today announced that the club has signed free agent outfielder David Dahl to a Major League contract.
Dahl, 26, was not tendered a contract offer by the Colorado Rockies prior to the December 2 deadline, making him a free agent. He has spent his entire nine-year professional career in the Rockies system, batting .286 with an .828 OPS figure in 264 MLB games in 2016 and 2018-20. He hit .183 with no home runs and 9 RBI in 2020, when he was limited due to Injured List stints from August 19-September 8 (lower back soreness) and September 23-end of season (right shoulder strain). He had a season-high 3 hits in the season opener on July 24 at Texas, when his third-inning single off the Rangers’ Lance Lynn accounted for the first hit in Globe Life Field history.
2020/12/16 05:42 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Texas Rangers have signed free agent outfielder David Dahl to a $2.7 million, one-year contract after Colorado didn t offer him a contract coming off right shoulder surgery. Dahl hit .183 with no homers and nine RBIs while spending about a month of the pandemic-shortened 60-game regular season on the injured list. Dahl, who spent his first nine years in pro ball with the Rockies, also dealt with back soreness last season. Dahl had the first hit at the Rangers’ new retractable-roof stadium in 2020, a third-inning single against Lance Lynn on July 24. The 26-year-old Dahl, who could earn up to $300,000 in performance bonuses, had surgery Sept. 29. He was a National League All-Star in 2019, hitting .302 with 15 homers and 61 RBIs. Dahl s career average is .286 in 264 games over parts of four seasons.

I have thought of the unthinkable. I have thought about the Astros trading Framber Valdez. Ace of the 2020 pitching staff, owner of one of the best curveballs in baseball, and most of all, a bonafide playoff hero.
Why would I want the Astros to move such a celebrated and talented player who has a long career ahead of him? Well, I don’t want them to. Not in general.
But there is one trade that has intrigued me since I randomly thought of it in late October.
