Texas Rangers, Kyle Gibson close on deal, per report

MLB Rumors: The Texas Rangers and Kyle Gibson are close on a deal, per Jon Morosi. Gibson, 32, is a righthanded pitcher who was a first round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2009, and who hit the market after spending his entire career in Minnesota.

Gibson is a good fit for the “durable guy you can plug into the rotation and expect to make 30 starts” role — while there is thought in some quarters to be some upside there, he’s probably a 180 IP, league average guy the Rangers can count on.
