While the Jacob deGrom signing is still the big Texas Rangers news, and additional significant moves may be coming during the Winter Meetings this week, minor league deals are also happening. In the last couple of days one Ranger minor league free agent was re-signed by the Rangers, while another Ranger who hit the free agent market signed elsewhere.
The player staying with the Rangers is lefthanded relief pitcher Lucas Jacobsen. Jacobsen, 27, has logged less than 100 innings since being drafted by the Rangers out of Cal State Long Beach in 2016 due to injuries and the pandemic.
