The Rangers have signed former Royals pitcher Mike Minor to a contract, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. According to Rosenthal, the Rangers plan to use Minor as a starting pitcher, a role he performed from 2010 to 2014 with the Braves. In 110 career starts, Minor has a career ERA of 4.10.
Minor originally signed a two-year, $7.25 million deal with the Royals before the 2016 season, with the understanding he would miss much of the first year recovering from labrum surgery.
