Badly needing depth for their beleaguered outfield, the Mariners on Tuesday claimed veteran Leody Taveras off waivers from the Rangers, a familiar face within the division over the past five-plus seasons and fixture from Texas’ 2023 World Series title team.

The Mariners claimed outfielder Leody Taveras off waivers from the Texas Rangers in what should be an upgrade to Seattle's outfield depth.

The Rangers placed Taveras on outright waivers on Sunday, three MLB officials familiar with the waiver wire and process confirmed to The Dallas Morning News. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic first tweeted the move.
