Steve Delabar: Plans to end career
Steve Delabar said Monday during an appearance on the "Outta the Park with Barry Davis" podcast that he's "ready to move on" from playing professional baseball.A 2013 All-Star for the Blue Jays, Delabar logged 190 career relief appearances in the majors from 2011 through 2016 between Seattle, Toronto and Cincinnati, supplying a 4.07 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 11.2 K/9 over 194.2 innings. The 35-year-old most recently appeared in affiliated ball at Triple-A Round Rock in the Rangers organization in 2018 but made only five appearances for the club before getting released in late April. Delabar noted that he's now committed to coaching at the high school level in his home state of Kentucky.

Steve Delabar: Released by Rangers
Steve Delabar was released by Texas on Friday.Delabar appeared in five games for Triple-A Round Rock in April, posting a 4.76 ERA and 1.92 WHIP. The 34-year-old has only pitched in seven big-league contests dating back to 2016, all of them coming with Cincinnati that season. He will look to latch on with another organization, but it's unlikely that he will make a fantasy impact. In a corresponding move, Round Rock activated Yovani Gallardo after the pitcher agreed to terms last weekend.

Rangers' Steve Delabar: Agrees to terms with Rangers
Steve Delabar signed a minor-league deal that includes an invite to spring training with Texas on Thursday.Delabar played in seven games for the Reds in 2016, but missed most of last season due to an 80-game suspension for violating the MiLB Drug Prevention Program as a member of the Indians' organization. The 34-year-old was eventually released in July, and didn't latch on with any other club following the conclusion of his suspension. Looking ahead, he will likely begin 2018 at Triple-A Round Rock while serving as organizational bullpen depth for Texas. In terms of fantasy potential, Delabar hasn't been an effective major-league reliever since the 2013 season, and isn't likely to make much of an impact during this upcoming campaign.
