Rafael Palmeiro is coming out of retirement to join an independent league team in Texas, he told the Dallas Morning News.
Palmeiro, 53, is set to sign with the Cleburne Railroaders of the 12-team American Association, joining his son Patrick.
Palmeiro had told The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal this winter that he was hoping to make it back to the major leagues but no team was interested in a 53-year-old who hadn’t played in the majors in 13 years.
This won’t be the first time Palmeiro and Patrick will be on the same team.
