News, not particularly big news, was made Tuesday by the Texas Rangers, who avoided arbitration with outfielder Ryan Rua on a one-year deal with $870,000.
They also signed catcher Mike Ohlman to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Rua is one of four arbitration-eligible Rangers this season, along with infielder Jurickson Profar and relievers Keone Kela and Jake Diekman. General manager Jon Daniels has never been taken to an arbitration hearing, and the club hasn't gone to a hearing since beating Lee Stevens in 1999.
This isn't the kind of news that Rangers fans really want, no offense to Rua and Ohlman.
