The Rangers signed Moore to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore was released by the Mariners on Sunday and has latched on with another American League West organization. The 33-year-old has slashed just .193/.263/.359 with a 35.7 percent strikeout rate over 213 plate appearances this season, but his versatility is attractive in a reserve role. The Rangers could give Moore another chance in the majors sooner rather than later.

The Mariners granted Moore his unconditional release Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

After Moore went unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment Saturday, the Mariners decided to eat the money remaining on his $3.91 million salary for 2025, allowing the 33-year-old utility player to test free agency. Moore produced a lowly .193/.263/.359 slash line over 213 plate appearances for Seattle this season, but his speed (12 steals in 16 attempts) and defensive versatility could entice another team to bring him aboard as a bench bat.

The Mariners designated Moore for assignment Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore had a great start to the season, batting .295 with six homers, 11 RBI and seven stolen bases over his first 25 games. However, he's fizzled considerably since and batted a miserly .045 (3-for-67) with a 51.4 percent strikeout rate over his past 47 contests dating back to May 27. Seattle has thus elected to remove Moore from the 40-man roster in order to make room for Victor Robles (shoulder), who was activated off the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Moore will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

With Dominic Canzone tending to a bruised arm, Moore will draw a second straight start in right field, after he went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-4 loss. The Mariners have faced left-handed starters Tuesday and Wednesday, so the right-handed-hitting Moore may have been included in the lineup more so for matchup reasons than due to any major concern about the health of the left-handed-hitting Canzone, who should see the bulk of the starts in right field versus right-handed pitching.

Moore went 0-for-1 with one RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Moore's playing time remains sparse, and rightfully so given his woeful work at the plate in limited opportunities. He's gone 2-for-44 over 27 games since the start of June -- his RBI in Saturday's contest was on a groundout that tied the game in the bottom of the 10th inning. A strong start to the year gave him regular playing time into May, but he's since settled in as a utility player with no clear path into the lineup. Moore is slashing just .208/.268/.387 with 10 steals, nine home runs, 19 RBI and 27 runs scored over 190 plate appearances this season.

Moore went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-0 win over the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners gave the lefty-hitting Dominic Canzone the day off versus southpaw Bailey Falter, enabling Moore to draw a rare start in right field and belt his first homer since May 22. Moore had briefly handled nearly an everyday role when Ryan Bliss (triceps) and Victor Robles (shoulder) went down earlier this year, but he's fallen into a utility role off the bench since Canzone and Cole Young joined the big-league club. Moore has taken just 39 at-bats over his last 25 games, going 2-for-39 with one steal during that span.

Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

For the third straight game, Moore is on the bench against a right-handed pitcher, a sign that he's lost hold of his spot in the Mariners' everyday lineup. Cole Young will pick up his second consecutive start at the keystone following his call-up from Triple-A Tacoma and looks as though he'll be prioritized ahead of Moore, who could end up filling the short side of a platoon at second base with the rookie.

Moore is not in Seattle's starting lineup against Minnesota on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore will be out of the Mariners' lineup for the third time in four games, and the veteran infielder could be losing his grasp on the starting spot at the keystone after Cole Young was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. Moore is slashing .264/.322/.481 with eight steals, eight home runs an 16 RBI across 143 plate appearances this season.

Moore is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Twins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore will begin the Mariners' weekend series in the dugout while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at second base and bats eighth. Moore has slashed .241/.297/.397 with three steals, two home runs and seven RBI over 64 plate appearances since returning from the 10-day injured list in early May.

Moore isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Moore will get a day to rest after going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored during Tuesday's contest. His absence will allow Miles Mastrobuoni to start at second base and at eighth.
