Veteran reliever Ryan Brasier agrees to minor league contract with Texas Rangers

Veteran reliever Ryan Brasier has agreed to a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers that includes an invitation to major league spring training for the Texas native

Kumar Rocker - Competing for rotation spot Rocker enters spring training as a competitor for a spot in the starting rotation, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rocker broke camp last season in the rotation but experienced an injury and mechanical issues on his way to a 5.74 ERA across 64.1 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander was eventually optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in August and shortly thereafter shut down to refine his mechanics. "Kumar is in a really good spot," Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker said. "I think last offseason, maybe, he got away from some things that he needed to do to have success. This offseason, he's gotten back to those things." The organization's acquisition of MacKenzie Gore left one rotation spot available with Rocker and Jacob Latz viewed as the primary candidates.

Jack Leiter - Rotation spot safe Leiter likely has a secure spot in the rotation and will not be part of a competition, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact As recently as two weeks ago, Leiter was viewed as part of crew competing for two available spots in the rotation. The right-hander, who is entering his second full season with the club, will join Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi and newly acquired MacKenzie Gore in the Opening Day rotation. Leiter had some rocky stretches early in 2025 but showed improvement over the second half, when he posted a 3.28 ERA and dropped his walk rate to 3.66 BB/9 from 4.4 prior to the All-Star break.

Jacob Latz - Competing for fifth starter Latz will compete for a spot in Texas' rotation this spring, Kenndi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Rangers' addition of MacKenzie Gore left one rotation spot available. Latz, who served as a swingman in 2025, had a 2.93 ERA over 46.0 innings as a reliever and 2.72 ERA over 39.2 innings in eight spot starts. Those numbers indicate how valuable he was in a dual role; however, he will be given a shot at being a full-time starter. Latz said in January at the team's Winter Warm-Up that he wants to start, but his ability to excel at both jobs may be more valuable. Kumar Rocker is also in the mix for the final spot in the rotation. Cody Bradford (elbow) also would have been part of competition, but he's not due back until mid-May.

Ryan Brasier - Agrees to deal with Rangers The Rangers signed Brasier to a contract Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Impact It's unclear at this point whether it's a major- or minor-league contract. Injuries limited Brasier to 26 regular-season innings with the Cubs in 2025, and he finished with a 4.50 ERA and 20:5 K:BB. The Rangers' bullpen is a weak link, but the 38-year-old Brasier is still unlikely to rise too high in the hierarchy.
