The Texas Rangers have re-signed catcher Tucker Barnhart to a minor league deal after he briefly elected free agency. At 34 years old, Barnhart will likely report to Triple-A Round Rock, adding depth behind the plate as the big league team relies on Kyle Higashioka and Jonah Heim. Though Barnhart's brief stint in the majors this year saw minimal action, his extensive experience makes him a valuable asset should injuries arise among the primary catchers later in the season.
Though Barnhart had a limited impact in the majors with the Rangers, his re-signing as a non-roster player provides valuable depth at the catching position.
Barnhart's experience and reputation for defensive prowess make him a reliable option for the Rangers in case injuries occur at the catcher position.
