Cubs acquire Patton from Rangers

The Texas Rangers have traded right-hander Spencer Patton to the Chicago Cubs.

Texas receives minor-league infielder Frandy Delarosa in the deal.

"He's a young switch-hitting middle infielder with a good swing and ability to drive the ball from both sides of the plate," Rangers scouting director Josh Boyd told reporters of Delarosa. "Our scouts like his offensive upside."

Patton appeared in 27 games for Texas in 2015, posting a 1-1 record with an ERA of 9.00 and a WHIP of 1.50.

Delarosa hit .273/.315/.367 with 30 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in Single-A ball.
