Rangers Trade for Macko, Let Go of Martin | Texas Rangers News
Description
Rangers pull off a bullpen gamble, acquiring lefty Adam Macko in a three-way trade that sends utilityman Josh Smith and prospect Josh Stephan to the Blue Jays. Macko, who’s pitched inconsistently with Toronto this year, heads to Triple-A Round Rock, while veteran Chris Martin is waived after injury woes. Smith’s season was derailed by illness and poor performance, and Stephan—a once-promising arm—was sacrificed for immediate bullpen depth. The Rangers seem to be pivoting between rebuilding and competing, and this move could pay off—or backfire—depending on how Macko fares.
