Rangers Trade Dunning to Braves in Salary Dump
Tap title to read story
The Texas Rangers traded pitcher Dane Dunning to the Atlanta Braves for minor league reliever José Ruiz and cash considerations. This move is a salary dump for the Rangers, who are aiming to stay below the luxury tax threshold. Dunning, who had fallen out of favor in Texas, will likely find a more prominent role in Atlanta's injury-depleted rotation. Ruiz, a journeyman reliever, has struggled this season. The Braves designated Jesse Chavez for assignment to make room for Dunning on their 40-man roster. The Rangers are expected to continue making moves to improve their playoff chances.
