Rangers acquired RHP Beau Vaughan from the Red Sox as part of the Wes Littleton deal.
The Rangers are expected to get a second prospect if Littleton makes the Red Sox out of spring training. Vaughan, a third-round pick in 2003, had a 2.33 ERA and a 69/24 K/BB ratio in 58 innings as a closer for Double-A Portland and Triple-A Pawtucket last season. Still, no one liked him enough to grab him in today’s Rule 5 draft. He’ll likely receive a non-roster invitation to camp.
