Zack Granite Optioned, Ben Revere Released rotoballer.com Tue 3/26/19 10:58 PM

The Texas Rangers optioned outfielder Zack Granite to Triple-A Nashville and released outfielder Ben Revere on Tuesday. Granite hit just .214 (6-for-28) with no homers and no RBI, but he did steal four bases. He'll serve as organizational depth and can give the Rangers speed off the bench at some point this year. The 30-year-old Revere hit .286 (6-for-21) with no homers and an RBI this spring, but the Rangers would prefer to keep younger options for outfield depth.

Ben Revere In Texas With Plenty Left To Prove rotoballer.com Mon 2/18/19 10:41 PM

The Texas Rangers signed outfielder Ben Revere to a minor-league contract on Monday, and he still feels he has plenty left in the tank at 30 years old. "Major League Baseball seems to think guys over 30 can't play. Some of those guys are still in their prime. It's a shock to me they won't trust guys over 30 and try to go younger instead. Guys over 30 can still play and compete and help you win games," Revere said. The veteran last appeared in the majors in 2017 with the Angels, hitting .275 wit[...]

Angels Release Ben Revere rotoballer.com Thu 7/26/18 1:24 PM

The Los Angeles Angels have released outfielder Ben Revere on Thursday. Revere never saw time in the big leagues with the Angels this year and was hitting .277 with three home runs, 18 RBI and two steals over 40 games with Triple-A Salt Lake in 2018. He can provide speed and be a defensive replacement for another team, but it's unlikely he'll be a fantasy asset for the rest of the season.

Angels Add Ben Revere on Minor League Deal rotoballer.com Sat 3/31/18 9:43 AM

The Los Angeles Angels have added outfielder Ben Revere on a minor league deal. Revere spent 2017 with the Angels, stealing 21 bases and hitting .275 in a part time role. He is not likely to see the field much this season however, with Chris Young locked in as the fourth outfielder. If injuries strike and Revere finds himself in a semi-regular role, he could be worth an add in AL-only formats for teams in need of speed. Otherwise, leave him alone.

The Cincinnati Reds made a bevy of roster moves on Sunday. Among the most notable, left-hander Cody Reed was optioned to Triple-A and veteran outfielder Ben Revere has been released. Reed has a special arm but has struggled with his control at the big league level. He's expected to be one of the first names considered if the club needs to add a starter to the rotation. Revere was reassigned to minor league camp earlier in the week after going just 3-for-24 at the plate this spring. He stole 21 b[...]

This article references Ben Revere and more!
