As we wait for one of the best closers of all time to sign a deal in free agency, one of the best young relievers in the game, and one of 2018’s biggest breakouts that not enough people talk about, signed an extension. On Wednesday, the Rangers signed closer José Leclerc to a four-year deal worth $14.75 million with two team options worth a total of $12.25 million. The righty hadn’t even reached arbitration yet, set to start that process after the coming season. This deal will now carry him through all of his arbitration years and the two team options buy out two free agency years.
