Cleburne native Dillon Gee has decided to stay with the Texas Rangers after exercising the opt-out clause in his minor league contract Thursday. The terms of his new deal have not been finalized, but Gee has agreed to start the season with Triple A Round Rock.
“A lot of these decisions are never really that easy,” said Gee, who turns 31 on April 28. “I felt I had a good spring so there is always that part of you that wants to see if there’s an option that puts you in a good situation as well, but I think what we’re working on is going to be a good fit.
