Rangers sign ex-All-Star Shane Greene, others to minor deals

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Former All-Star reliever Shane Greene is among three more right-handers the Texas Rangers signed to minor league contracts with invitations to spring training.

The World Series champions announced the deals with Greene, Jonathan Holder, and Austin Pruitt on Wednesday. That comes about two weeks after veteran reliever Diego Castillo was in a group of three other right-handers signed to contracts that designated them as non-roster invitees to spring training.

The 35-year-old Greene joined the Chicago Cubs organization last June, and made two scoreless relief appearances in a pair of short stints in the big leagues.
