The Blue Jays released Revere from his minor-league contract over the weekend, Kegan Lowe of Baseball America reports.
Revere joined the organization in late April and reported to Triple-A Buffalo, where he played in eight games and hit .286 with one stolen base. The outfielder wasn't likely to earn a callup to Toronto anytime soon and may have asked for his release to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Revere hasn't surfaced in the big leagues since 2017, when he appeared in 109 games for the Angels and slashed .275/.308/.344 across 308 plate appearances.
Revere signed a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Revere spent spring training with the Rangers but was released just before the start of the regular season. The 30-year-old spent 2018 at the Triple-A level and slashed .277/.319/.406 in 166 plate appearances. Revere will report to extended spring training next week before presumably heading to Triple-A Buffalo.
Revere was released by the Rangers on Tuesday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
Revere will look for work elsewhere after failing to secure a spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster. The veteran outfielder spent all of the 2018 campaign in the minors, hitting .277/.319/.406 in 40 games for Triple-A Salt Lake.
Revere was assigned to minor-league camp Tuesday.
Revere didn't spend any time in the big leagues last year and will have to wait for an injury to earn his chance this season. He hit a modest .277/.319/.406 in 40 games for Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels' system in 2018.
