ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Bengie Molina was sleeping on the plane when he was woken by his San Francisco teammates telling him goodbye. Molina’s first thought was that he had been released.

Instead, he had been traded to the AL West-leading Texas Rangers.

The 35-year-old Molina joined his new team Friday, when he was in the starting lineup batting sixth for the Rangers against the Chicago White Sox.

Molina says it was “kind of weird” but that he realized what was happening when they landed and he had a text from his wife that they were “off to Texas.”

Molina says the positives of the move are that the Rangers are in first place and “trying to win the whole thing.” He plans to do what he can to help.
