McDade was traded to Baltimore from Texas for future considerations, the Baltimore Sun reports. |
McDade was assigned to Double-A Bowie. It's likely just a trade to add depth to Baltimore's minor league teams rather than having McDade be a factor in the team's major league plans. At 25, McDade hasn't reached the majors and has just a .726 OPS in the minors. |

McDade signed a minor league deal with the Rangers on Thursday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. |
McDade was with the Blue Jays' organization last season, splitting time between Triple-A Buffalo and Double-A New Hampshire. The 25-year-old struggled in limited Triple-A action, going 3-for-22 at the plate, but hit .250 with 36 RBI in 276 Double-A at-bats. McDade will likely remain in the minors this season and could again see time at multiple levels. |

White Sox claimed 1B Michael McDade off waivers from the Indians; optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte. |
McDade was designated for assignment by the Indians late last week. The 24-year-old was off to a slow start with Cleveland's Triple-A affiliate, but he hit .285/.360/.445 with 19 home runs and an .806 OPS between Toronto's Double-A and Triple-A affiliates last season. He'll function as organizational depth. |

Indians designated 1B Michael McDade for assignment. |
The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Ezequiel Carrera. McDade, who is batting just .230/.313/.284 with no homers at Triple-A this season, will probably pass through waivers. Then again, he used to be a Blue Jay, so it's always possible Alex Anthopoulos will claim him. |

A former sixth-round pick, McDade .281/.328/.457 with 16 homers over 484 at-bats for New Hampshire this season. He'll need to progress more at the plate to turn into a real prospect, and the Jays are willing to let him occupy a spot on the 40-man roster to see if he can do just that. |
