A couple more unsurprising roster moves by the Rangers, as Carlos Almanzar and Ryan Bukvich have been removed from the 40 man roster.
Almanzar as opted for free agency, but I don't believe Bukvich has that option.
The DMN story also says that Ruddy Yan has signed a minor league contract. Yan is Rule 5 eligible this offseason, and there was some speculation that he was a candidate to be added to the 40 man roster, but the Rangers signing him to a minor league deal this early in the offseason would seem to suggest that he's not going to be added to the 40 man roster after all.
