"Bride reunites with Texas manager Skip Schumaker. Bride had his best season with Schumaker's Marlins in 2024, when he connected on 11 homers with a .276/.357/.461 batting line. That earned him the Opening Day designated hitter job going into this year. Bride didn't stick on the roster for long, as he batted .100 without an extra-base hit over his first 12 games and was designated for assignment. Miami flipped him to the Twins for cash a few days later."
"The 29-year-old didn't find any more success in Minnesota. Bride hit .208/.275/.236 in 80 trips to the plate, leading to a second DFA on the year. He went unclaimed on waivers that time around and spent the rest of the season with Triple-A St. Paul. Bride hit well against minor league pitching, batting .281/.423/.453 with an equal number of walks and strikeouts in 43 games."
Jonah Bride agreed to a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers and will be a non-roster invitee at MLB Spring Training. Bride reunited with Skip Schumaker after a strong 2024 with the Marlins, when he hit 11 homers and slashed .276/.357/.461, earning an Opening Day DH role. He struggled early in 2025, was designated for assignment, and was traded to the Twins, where he hit .208/.275/.236 in 80 plate appearances and was DFA'd again. He finished the year in Triple-A with a .281/.423/.453 line across 43 games. Bride is a right-handed corner infielder with solid Triple-A on-base skills but limited MLB production.
