Texas Rangers sign Justin Anderson, Drew Butera to minor league deals

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers have signed right-handed pitcher Justin Anderson and veteran catcher Drew Butera to minor league contracts that include invitations to major league spring training.

Butera got a one-year deal that will be worth $1 million if he is on the big league roster after he played the past two-plus seasons with Colorado.

The 37-year-old catcher has played 541 games for five teams over the past 11 seasons. He caught the final out of Kansas City's World Series championship in 2015 when he was teammates with new Rangers general manager Chris Young.
