The 31-year-old was drafted and developed by Minnesota, and spent his first seven big league seasons with the Twins from 2010-16. He's a lifetime. 242 hitter with a .714 OPS and 105 homers in 823 MLB games.
Primarily a third baseman, Plouffe has also played shortstop, first base, second base, and right and left field in the Majors.
The Rangers now have 65 players on the club's Spring Training roster, including a full 40-man roster and 25 non-roster invitees.
