The Texas Rangers have signed lefthanded pitcher Patrick Corbin to a one year deal, the team announced this afternoon. The deal is reportedly for $1 million, plus a few million in potential incentives. To make room for him on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have placed Jon Gray on the 60 day injured list.
I’m not sure how to interpret this move as anything other than a sign of extreme desperation. Corbin has been terrible the last four years for the Washington Nationals, putting up a 5.71 ERA and 4.99 FIP in 126 games.
