"Blanco, 33, has spent his entire big league career with the Royals thus far. He served as a useful bench piece thanks to his speed and defense. He stole 59 bases in 73 attempts."
"Despite those contributions, he got nudged off the Kansas City roster when they signed Starling Marte about a month ago. The Rangers claimed him off waivers and held him for a little over two weeks."
"Each club passed on a chance to get Blanco off waivers in recent days, even though he has options remaining. Instead, he'll just report to the Express and try to work his way back to the majors."
Dairon Blanco has cleared waivers and will join Triple-A Round Rock after being designated for assignment by the Rangers. He previously played for the Royals, contributing with speed and defense, including 59 stolen bases. Despite a solid performance, he was removed from the Kansas City roster when they signed Starling Marte. The Rangers claimed him but needed to make room for Andrew McCutchen. Blanco will report to the Express and aims to return to the majors, despite limited interest from other teams.
