Bryan Holaday is trading Detroit blue and orange for Texas red, white and blue. The recent trade brings the 2006 W.T. White grad back to the Big D to play catcher for the Rangers, the team he always dreamed of playing for as a child.
The Rangers agreed to give up catcher Bobby Wilson and right-handed pitcher Myles Jaye in exchange for Holaday, who spent four seasons with the Tigers.
Holaday tweeted the following after the trade was announced:
Holaday was the sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft after hitting .248 in 36 games with the minor league team Triple-A Toledo. Recently, he’s hit .281/.292/.453 with two home runs and 13 RBI in 2015. Check out the video below of his first ever Major League home run in 2013.
