In addition to his stint with Texas, the 34-year-old spent most of his 10-year career in Boston but also saw action with the Pirates, Brewers and Nationals. He had a .262/.332/.362 slash line with 25 home runs, 234 RBI, 316 runs and 41 steals in 751 games.

• Brock Holt: Cut loose by Atlanta

  03/31/2022 • By RotoWire

  Holt was released by Atlanta on Thursday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports. Holt was in camp as a non-roster invitee and was trying to win a bench spot, but he was granted his release after it became apparent he wouldn't beat out either of Phil Gosselin or Pat Valaika for a utility infield job. Holt will now look elsewhere to find a job, but getting an opportunity in the majors may prove difficult, especially with spring training winding down. He's heading into his age-34 season and has hit .209/.281/.291 over the last two years.
