ESPINO MOVES TO THE TEXAS RANGERS

The Texas Rangers acquired pitcher Paolo Espino from the Milwaukee Brewers for cash.

What does it give the Texas Rangers
The Rangers are always in search of more pitching, so it is no surprise that they decided to trade for Espino--a 30-year-old journeyman who can both start or relieve.

What does it give the Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers used Espino both in the rotation and out of the bullpen earlier this season, but he struggled (6.11 ERA) and ultimately deemed expendable.

Fantasy impact
At this point, Espino will need to show a lot more in order to become fantasy-viable. It might never happen.
