From an email from Jamey Newberg: "Texas was predictably unable to find a team interested in taking on Ben Broussard's contract (or trading a non-roster prospect in exchange for Broussard on a subsidized basis), and so, according to multiple local reports, the Rangers have placed Broussard on release waivers, which means the club is on the hook for the entirety of his $3.85 million contract." I'm not surprised the Rangers made him available, but that there were no takers. Or seemingly so.
