Molina

It’s the second time this calendar year that the 22-year-old southpaw has been dealt, as he was acquired from the Brewers for right-hander Grant Anderson back in early January. Molina has posted a 3.41 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 92/28 K/BB ratio over 74 innings in 18 appearances (17 starts) between Single-A Hickory and High-A Hub City this season.

The Rangers were going to lose Anderson on waivers without getting anything for him after he was designated for assignment earlier in the week, so instead they opted to flip him to the Brewers for a low-level prospect. Molina, 21, was a seventh-round pick from the 2024 draft class and hurled five scoreless innings at Single-A Carolina in his professional debut last season. He’s probably a couple of years away from being an option at the big-league level.
