Injured free-agent pitcher Tyler Mahle signed a two-year deal with the Texas Rangers, the team announced on Thursday afternoon.
The deal is for $22 million, sources told ESPN. Mahle can earn another $5 million in performance bonuses based on innings pitched in 2025, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Mahle, 29, made only five starts for the Minnesota Twins in 2023 before undergoing Tommy John surgery in May. The 7-year veteran has a career 4.30 ERA in 122 starts.
It's unclear how the Rangers will use Mahle, as his return won't occur until later in 2024.
