Rangers Agree To Terms With Hunter Strickland On Minor-League Deal
The Texas Rangers announced on Wednesday that they agreed to terms with free-agent right-hander Hunter Strickland on a minor-league deal that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The 36-year-old veteran reliever went 3-2 with a 3.31 ERA, one save and 12 holds in 73 1/3 innings with the Los Angeles Angels last year in a team-leading 72 appearances, which ranked tied for seventh in the American League. He's a 10-year MLB veteran with a career 25-23 record, 29 saves, a 3.40 ERA and 408 strikeouts in 448 innings pitched with eight different teams. Strickland spent the first five seasons of his career with manager Bruce Bochy on the San Francisco Giants, so he has some history with the Rangers' skipper. Because of how late he's signing this spring, Strickland probably won't be in the Opening Day bullpen, but it doesn't mean he won't play a key setup role in Texas' bullpen eventually.
