The Texas Rangers signed utilityman Dylan Moore to a minor league contract Tuesday, according to a report from The Athletic.
Moore was released by the Mariners on Sunday, putting an end to his seven-year tenure in Seattle and allowing him to join their American League West rivals.
A utility Gold Glove winner last season, Moore is known for his ability to play just about anywhere on the diamond. This season, the 33-year-old suited up for 30 games as an outfielder, 28 games at second base, 16 games at first base, 16 games at third base and six at shortstop for the Mariners. He has played every position except catcher during his career.
Moore struggled at the plate this season, hitting just .193 with a .263 on-base percentage, nine home runs, 19 RBIs and 12 stolen bases. This was down from last season when he registered a .201 average, .320 OBP, 10 home runs, 42 RBIs and 32 stolen bases.
For his career, Moore has a .205 average and a .310 OBP with 61 home runs, 192 RBIs and 116 stolen bases across 671 games.
