The Texas Rangers have signed two players to avoid arbitration. Signing relief pitcher Sam Dyson to one-year $3.52 million dollars. Also signing starting pitcher A.J. Griffin to a one-year deal worth $2 million dollars.
During 2016 Dyson went 3-2 2.43 ERA in 73 games with 38 saves. Dyson got a large salary increase for 2017, his salary for 2016 was $525,270. Much deserved salary increase for Dyson as he was a key part of the 2016 Rangers bullpen. Dyson was acquired by the Rangers in July of 2015 from the Miami Marlins for pitcher Cody Ege and catcher Tomas Telis.
