Corey Kluber excited to join hometown Rangers, put 'very trying' '19 behind him

DALLAS -- Corey Kluber is returning to Texas to pitch for the Rangers.

The two-time Cy Young Award winner will leave it to others to say whether his hometown team has its next ace.

"I think having a starting pitcher you can rely on every fifth day to give your team a chance to win, keep you in the ballgame, I think that stuff carries just as much weight," Kluber said Tuesday, two days after the Rangers acquired him in a trade with Cleveland that sent outfielder Delino DeShields and reliever Emmanuel Clase to the Indians.
