Mike Foltynewicz is a former National League All-Star who lost his way last season with the Atlanta Braves.
His velocity was down substantially, and he made only one start despite all of the pitching injuries the Braves endured.
He fits the mold of the kind of reclamation project Texas Rangers president of baseball operations Jon Daniels has liked to sign in the past.
Daniels is reportedly on the verge of signing Foltynewicz.
Multiple outlets reported that the right-hander is in agreement with the Rangers on a one-year deal worth $2 million to pitch in their rotation.
