It’s finally over. Mench has finally chosen a team to play for, and in doing so will return to his roots. Mench signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers with an invite to Spring Training. Mench will join a host of outfielders competing to leave Spring Training with the Rangers as a backup outfielder.
Mench came up with the Rangers before being traded to Milwaukee in part of the Carlos Lee trade a few years ago. David Murphy, Nelson Cruz and Jason Botts seem to be Mench’s main competitors for the backup outfield position.
