San Diego native Matt Bush was selected by the Padres with the first overall pick in 2004. He began his career as a shortstop before becoming a relief pitcher in 2007.
He signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers on Friday. The once highly touted prospect has had many run-ins with the law since being drafted by the Padres and was just released from prison two months ago after serving a 34-month sentence.
Not long after being drafted, Bush was involved in a fight outside of a bar in Arizona. He was suspended before his professional career even began.
