March 25, 2008
Kevin Mench has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma by the Rangers, according to the Dallas Morning News. He failed to beat out Jason Botts for the final spot on their 25-man roster, so he'll bide his time in the minors and hope for a shot with the Rangers later on.
March 12, 2008
Kevin Mench appears to be the favorite to land the final bench spot for the Rangers, according to MLB.com. He will take ground balls at first base next week in an effort to increase his versatility. If Milton Bradley's knee doesn't allow him to be ready by opening day, it's possible Mench could be in the lineup against Seattle lefty Erik Bedard.
February 27, 2008
Kevin Mench went 2-for-4 with a run and RBI on Wednesday for the Rangers. Mench was signed two weeks ago to battle for a backup spot in the OF with the Rangers, and today he started to make a statement that he hopes will result in his name being on the opening day roster. Mench can still be a useful major league hitter, though his days of being a full-time starter appear over. Consider drafting him in AL Only leagues.
February 12, 2008
Kevin Mench agreed to a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers on Tuesday afternoon. According to the Dallas Morning News he'll fight for a backup outfielder's spot along with David Murphy, Nelson Cruz and Jason Botts. Mench, 30, hit .267 for Milwaukee last year with a .746 OPS and eight homers in 101 games. He had fallen out of favor in Milwaukee and had not been able to land a major league deal this winter. But it is worth noting that Mench had consecutive 25-homer seasons while with the Rangers. Mench has agreed to start the season at Triple-A Oklahoma if he does not make the major league roster. He would be able to request his relase if not in the majors by June 1.
February 10, 2008
Kevin Mench and the Texas Rangers are discussing bringing the former Rangers OF back to Texas, but the club wants to make sure that if they bring him back, he is willing to accept a demotion to Triple-A if he doesn't make the big league club out of spring training. The team is set with starters in the OF in Marlon Byrd, Josh Hamilton and Milton Bradley (when healthy), so Mench would have to battle for one of the backup spots with David Murphy, Jason Botts and Nelson Cruz to make the team.

The Royals apparently are showing some interest in signing free agent Kevin Mench to a contract, according to the KC Star. The Yankees and Rangers also have expressed limited interest in Mench.
February 2, 2008
The Rangers are considering brining Kevin Mench to training camp as a non-roster invitee, according to the Dallas Morning News. He could battle with Jason Botts and Nelson Cruz to be a right-handed-hitting backup outfielder. Mench hit .267 with eight homers in 288 at-bats for the Brewers last season after the Rangers dealt him to Milwaukee during the 2006 campaign.
