The Texas Rangers and free agent righthanded pitcher Sam Gaviglio have agreed to terms on a minor league deal with an invitation to the major league spring training, according to Steve Adams on Twitter.
Gaviglio, who turns 31 in May, was originally a 5th round draft pick of the St. Louis Cardinals in 2011, has spent time in the majors mostly with the Toronto Blue Jays, but also with the Seattle Mariners and Kansas City Royals. He was a starter in the big leagues in 2017-18, a multi-inning reliever in 2019, but threw just 3 innings in 4 relief appearances in 2020 before the Jays released him in early September.
