Rangers make move to clear roster spot for Beltre
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The Texas Rangers have designated right-hander Guillermo Moscoso for assignment, clearing room on the 40-man roster for All-Star third baseman Adrian Beltre.
The move Friday came two days after Texas agreed to an $80 million, five-year contract with Beltre that includes what amount to a vesting option for a sixth season at $16 million.
