ARLINGTON, Texas -- Free-agent first baseman Ike Davis has agreed to a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers and will report to major league spring training.
Davis hit three homers in 74 games for Oakland last season before surgery in August to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. He also missed a month last month with a left quadriceps strain.
The deal was announced Monday, nine days before the Rangers' first full squad workout in Surprise, Arizona.
Davis had 32 home runs for the New York Mets in 2012.
