Rangers, A’s swap veterans

Veteran infielder Elvis Andrus was traded to the Athletics on Saturday, just over two months after the Rangers said the only player remaining from their World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011 would no longer be the starting shortstop after 12 seasons in that role. The Rangers sent Andrus, catcher Aramis Garcia and $13.5 million to the A’s for designated hitter Khris Davis, catcher Jonah Heim and right-hander Dane Acker.

The A’s recently lost shortstop Marcus

Semien to the Blue Jays in free agency. † Shortstop Carlos Correa and the Astros settled their arbitration case, agreeing to a one-year contract for $11.7 million.
