McKinney elected to become a free agent Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers are doing some 40-man roster housecleaning and McKinney was a casualty. A career .209/.283/.382 hitter over parts of eight major-league seasons, McKinney will be on the lookout for a minor-league contract this winter.

The Rangers selected McKinney's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The move gives the Rangers additional outfield depth after Wyatt Langford (oblique) was played on the 10-day injured list. McKinney was DFA'd by Texas in early July but opted to stay in the organization in Triple-A, where he has gone 17-for-60 (.283) with one steal, 10 runs, one homer and 10 RBI in 16 games since Sept. 2.

McKinney elected to become a free agent Monday.
EDGE Analysis
McKinney was booted off the 40-man roster following a brief two-game stint with the Rangers, and he has decided to test out free agency rather than accepting an outright assignment. The 30-year-old could wind up re-signing with Texas on a minor-league deal, but he will be available to the other 29 clubs as well.

The Rangers outrighted McKinney to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McKinney has the ability to decline the outright assignment and become a free agent, but it's unclear what his plans are. The 30-year-old went 1-for-7 across two contests during his brief stint with the Rangers.

McKinney was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
McKinney's time with the big club lasted a mere four days, with the 30-year-old going 1-for-7 across two contests. The journeyman will clear out to make room for Evan Carter (personal), and McKinney will now be subjected to waivers.

The Rangers selected McKinney's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder inked a minor-league deal with Texas in late May and will receive his first look in the big leagues this season. It'll likely be a short stay in the majors for McKinney, since Evan Carter (personal) should soon be back from the bereavement list.

McKinney signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
McKinney was cut loose by the Mets on May 18 after slashing .184/.285/.307 across 130 plate appearances in Triple-A. Now with the Rangers, the 30-year-old outfielder will likely remain an organizational depth piece and isn't likely to receive a call-up to Texas.

The Mets released McKinney from Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McKinney inked a minor-league contract with the Mets in March but didn't appear in an MLB game. Instead, he appeared in 33 games for Syracuse, slashing .184/.285/.307 with three home runs and a 26.2 percent strikeout rate.

McKinney agreed to a minor-league contract with the Mets on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old spent last season in the Pirates organization, making 10 appearances in the majors and 43 at Triple-A. McKinney could see some action in the majors this season, but his primary role will likely be as outfield depth at Triple-A Syracuse.

The Pirates outrighted McKinney to Triple-A Indianapolis on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
McKinney went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment and will stick around in the organization. The veteran outfielder has posted a .526 OPS in 10 games with Pittsburgh this season.
