Former Toronto Blue Jays slugger Rowdy Tellez has find himself a new home as the Texas Rangers just signed him to a new deal.

Rangers sign former Blue Jays slugger to a minor league deal Rowdy Tellez to a minor league deal
Tellez was shockingly released by the Mariners after putting up a solid 11 homeruns and 27 RBIs so far this season but it apparently was not enough for Seattle to keep him on their roster.
The Rangers announced that they have agreed to a minor league deal with Tellez and he will likely begin his time in the organization with their team in Triple-A but it should not take too much time to see him back in majors as they need offense.
.
The 30-year old is batting .208 and has 11 home runs and 27 RBI in 2025. Tellez had a career year in 2022, ranking 5th in the league in HRs (35) and 15th in RBI (89). The Rangers are hoping he finds his way to the main club to provide an offensive boost while Joc Pederson continues his recovery.
The Rangers seem to have brought him in to replace Joc Pederson who recently went down with an injury as the Rangers continue to struggle with offense this season as they float around .500 on the season.
There was rumors that the Blue Jays were looking to bring Tellez back to Toronto as they continue to have injuries but it seems like they ended up deciding against it as they continue to pick up momentum.
Hopefully the Blue Jays not going after Tellez will not end up being a costly mistake but only time will tell.
