The Rangers are back to looking for a closer.
The club broke off negotiations with Korean pitcher Seung Hwan Oh Saturday, a source said. The club had agreed to a one-year contract with the reliever, pending a physical, more than a week ago. But, according to a source, there were disconcerting issues that came up on the MRI of his arm. The deal had reportedly initially called for a $2.75 million contract and included a team option for 2019. There were also performance bonuses.
Rangers GM Jon Daniels declined to comment on the status of Oh.
The Rangers had sought Oh, 35, as a possible closing option.
