There’s at least a chance Jeff Francoeur could be spending his last day as a New York Met.
Two MLB sources told ESPNNewYork.com that the Texas Rangers are looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder for the bench and are considering Francoeur.
“His name has definitely been talked about,” one source said.
Wait, you mean considering him, like, unironically? His name has been “talked about” and not talked about like, “Let’s get a right-handed hitting outfielder but definitely not Jeff Francoeur”?
In all seriousness — and as I’ve mentioned here before — if you wanted Frenchy to use him exclusively as a righty bench bat and replacement outifelder, meaning he’d never face right-handed pitchers, he wouldn’t be the worst choice in the world. He has a career .820 OPS against southpaws and a .767 mark this season.
I hope it happens. I’d like to see some fresh blood in the outfield, and I’ve grown sick of the whole Francoeur thing. I’m basically mailing in my Francoeur jokes at this point. It’s just tiresome.

This would make me so happy.
And, if the Rangers keep winning, we’d get to read stories about how Frenchy and Cora are “winners” and how it was their character that led the way to victory. Such ridiculous stories would also make me happy because they would likely lead to hilarious posts on TedQuarters.
This needs to happen.
Or we’ll trade him for Alex Cora
That would be the single funniest thing that ever happened.
“[T]he Texas Rangers are looking for a right-handed-hitting outfielder for the bench and are considering Francoeur.”
Because the people who run the Rangers are not idiots, and realize that Francoeur’s talent level is “right-handed-hitting bench outfielder” and not “gritty phenom who would be a Hall of Famer if he could just learn to turn on his brain for more than a couple of seconds at a time”.
Also: Well played, Gina and Ted. Well played.
