During the month of December, the prime-time for offseason deals to be made, the Texas Rangers signed a number of players to contracts in an effort to increase their depth and minor league system for the upcoming season.
Outfield:
Justin Ruggiano: Texas signed Justin Ruggiano, 33, to a one-year deal. In 2015, Ruggiano split time between the Mariners and the Dodgers in which overall, he hit .248/.333/.472 with 6 HR and 15 RBI. The highlight of the 2015 season though was his time with Los Angeles where he hit .291 in 21 games. Ruggiano will likely see some spot starts in the outfield for Texas especially on long road stretches.
