ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers and free agent designated hitter Joc Pederson have agreed on a contract, a person with knowledge of the deal said Monday.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement is pending a physical.
The Rangers will be the third team in three years for Pederson, who rebounded from a sub-par 2023 season with San Francisco to hit a career-best .275 with 23 homers and 64 RBIs last season with Arizona.
The deal with Pederson could be another step toward Texas making slugging corner infielder Jake Burger the club's primary first baseman.
