ARLINGTON -- The Rangers signed right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez, their first-round pick in 2013, as well as three others to Minor League contracts with invitations to Spring Training, the club announced on Monday.
Gonzalez became a free agent last Friday when Texas non-tendered him. The 25-year-old is recovering from Tommy John elbow reconstruction surgery and is not expected to pitch in 2018.
The Rangers also signed former Blue Jays and Tigers outfielder Anthony Gose with the possibility that he could pitch for them. Gose, a left-hander, spent parts of five seasons in the Major Leagues from 2012-16 mainly as a center fielder with excellent speed.
