The latest addition to the Texas Rangers’ spring roster has played in the major leagues since 2011 and has piled up more than 100 games each of the past five seasons.
Yet, Logan Forsythe, like many other free agents, was sitting at home when spring training started earlier this month. He finally reached a breaking point last weekend, when he knew it was time to get into a camp to begin preparing for a 162-game season.
The Texas Rangers were one of the teams that had been keeping tabs on him, and he agreed Tuesday to a minor-league deal with an invitation to big-league spring training.
