ARLINGTON -- Harold Baines became the eighth member of the Hall of Fame who played with the Rangers at some point during his career. He was with the Rangers for the final two months of the 1989 season and five months in 1990 before being traded to the Athletics. In all, 153 of his 2,830 games played were with the Rangers.

He is just one of many prominent Major League players who found their way to Arlington at some point in their careers but did not stay long and are remembered far more for what they did with other clubs. It's an exotic list that includes such luminaries as Oil Can Boyd, Hideki Irabu and Lee Mazzilli.

Baines will be remembered because he was involved in one of the most famous trades in franchise history. But here are 10 renowned players whom people may not remember playing for the Rangers.

Carlos Beltran, 2016
The nine-time All-Star was acquired by the Rangers from the Yankees at the 2016 non-waiver Trade Deadline for three Minor Leaguers including former first-round Draft pick Dillon Tate. The Rangers hoped he would boost their postseason prospects, but they were swept by the Blue Jays in the first round and Beltran departed unceremoniously in the offseason. He then signed with the Astros and helped them win a World Series.

Carlos Lee, 2006
He spent two months with the Rangers at the end of the 2006 season after being acquired from the Brewers on July 28. The Rangers were 2 1/2 games out of first place at the time; they ultimately finished 13 games behind the Athletics. Everybody forgets Lee, but the trade was memorable because of the extra throw-in player from the Brewers: Nelson Cruz.

Bobby Bonds, 1978
The Rangers were one of eight teams Barry's father played for in his 14-year career. The Rangers traded for him in mid-May of the 1978 season from the White Sox, then swapped him to Cleveland at the end of the year. Little-known footnote: The Rangers signed Bonds to a Minor League contract in 1981 toward the end of his career, and he played in 35 games at Double-A before being sold to the Cubs.

John Rocker, 2002
It was a huge deal when the Rangers acquired Rocker from the Indians at the 2001 Winter Meetings. But he pitched in 30 games for the Rangers in 2002, posting a 6.66 ERA, and his time in Texas has faded into near obscurity. The cast of characters on the 2002 Rangers almost defies description.

Roy Oswalt, 2012
The former Astros ace was a free agent after the 2011 season but wasn't drawing much interest on the market. The Rangers, trying to reach the World Series for a third straight year, signed him on May 29 because injuries were piling up in their rotation. But Oswalt was never happy with the Rangers, and it ended up being a poor match for a club that fell apart in the final week of the season.

Sammy Sosa, 1989, 2007
Most people know Sosa began his career with the Rangers and was involved in the famous trade for Baines. Less memorable was his one-year farewell tour in 2007. Seriously, who will remember that Sosa hit his 600th career home run while with the Rangers?

Ken Caminiti, 2001
The Rangers signed the third baseman as a free agent at the end of his career in a desperate attempt to build a winning team around shortstop Alex Rodriguez. But Caminiti was at the end of the line in 2001 and lasted just 54 games for a team that finished last for the first of three straight years with Rodriguez on the team.

Miles Mikolas, 2014
He was an All-Star and 18-game winner for the Cardinals in 2018 after three years in Japan. He made 10 starts for the Rangers in the latter part of the 2014 season, just one of 15 pitchers who answered the desperate cattle call for starting pitching.

Rich Gossage, 1991 The Yankee great appeared to be toast after an undistinguished 1990 season in Japan. The Rangers signed him to a Minor League contract for 1991, brought him to Spring Training and he made the team as a setup reliever. Gossage actually pitched well for two months before fading. But so did the rest of the Rangers' pitching staff that year.

Jeff Francoeur, 2010 The Rangers acquired him on Aug. 31, 2010, because they needed a right-handed bat for postseason. Francoeur made the postseason roster and went just 3-for-24. Almost everybody remembers Cliff Lee being the big midseason acquisition for the Rangers. But "Frenchy" had one huge hit. He had an RBI double off Rays starter David Price in Game 1 of the ALDS, breaking the ice for the Rangers' offense by driving in their first run in a 5-1 victory.
