Texas Rangers rumors: Mike Minor, free agent lefthanded pitcher who spent the 2017 season with the Kansas City Royals, has agreed to a contract with the Texas Rangers, according to Ken Rosenthal on Twitter. No details on the terms, but Evan Grant says that Minor, who spent the 2017 season as a reliever, would be used as a starter by the Rangers.
Minor, the #7 overall pick in the 2009 draft, was a starter for the Braves from 2012-14, with one pretty good season (2013) and a couple of mediocre to poor ones, before missing the 2015-16 seasons due to rotator cuff.
