Reliever Vincent agrees to minor league deal with Rangers Veteran reliever Nick Vincent has agreed to a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers that includes an invitation to big league spring training
Joins Texas as non-roster invitee Vincent signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday as a non-roster invitee, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
Impact Vincent has appeared in the majors in each of the past nine seasons, and he'll compete for a job in the Rangers' bullpen during spring training in 2021. The 34-year-old's contract was selected by the Marlins in early August 2020, and he recorded three saves for the team with a 4.43 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 22.1 innings across 21 relief appearances.

RHP Patton minor deal with Rangers after 4 seasons in Japan Spencer Patton has signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers that includes an invitation to spring training after pitching in Japan the past four seasons

Joining Rangers' camp Patton signed with Texas as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.
Impact The 32-year-old doesn't have a particularly impressive MLB resume, having recorded a 6.26 ERA at the highest level in 54.2 innings of work. He's been out of the league for four years while pitching in Japan, where he posted a solid 3.68 ERA, though most of his success came in his first two seasons overseas. His 5.15 ERA in 2019 and 4.92 ERA in 2020 don't bode particularly well for his chances of breaking camp with the Rangers.

Lands with Rangers Gaviglio joined the Rangers as a non-roster invitee Monday.
Impact Gaviglio threw just three innings for the Blue Jays last season, walking five batters and allowing three runs. In 296.2 total innings at the highest level, he owns a 4.88 ERA, a mark that could earn him at least a low-leverage relief role if he looks good in camp.

Back in Texas DeShields joined the Rangers as a non-roster invitee Monday.
Impact DeShields spent the first five years of his big-league career as a Ranger before moving to Cleveland prior to last season as part of the return for Corey Kluber. The 28-year-old should stand a good chance to earn a roster spot based on his resume but is unlikely to deserve much more than a bench role. He's stolen 20 or more bases in four of his six seasons but doesn't offer a ton offensively beyond his speed, as he's a career .246/.326/.340 hitter and has managed just 18 total homers.

Heads to Texas Wood signed with the Rangers as a non-roster invitee Tuesday.
Impact Wood owns a 3.32 ERA in 86.2 career big-league innings, striking out 21.6 percent of opposing batters while walking 8.0 percent. He spent last season with Cleveland but failed to make the team's active roster at any point during the campaign.

Signs one-year deal Kiner-Falefa avoided arbitration Friday by signing a one-year, $2 million deal with the Rangers, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kiner-Falefa moved out from behind the plate in 2020, spending all his time at third base and shortstop. His .280/.329/.370 slash line was poor for the hot corner but decent enough at short, where he's expected to spend the majority of his time this season.

Reaches deal with Texas Gallo signed a one-year, $6.2 million contract with the Rangers on Friday to avoid arbitration, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Impact The 27-year-old struggled with a .679 OPS and 10 home runs in 226 plate appearances during 2020, but he nonetheless received a raise for next season. Gallo had an OPS of at least .810 in each of the previous three seasons and will look to recapture that form in 2021.

Lands two-year deal with Texas Anderson (elbow) signed a two-year, minor-league contract with Texas on Wednesday.
Impact Anderson underwent Tommy John surgery July 22 and is expected to miss most, if not all, of the 2021 season, so the Rangers will spend most of the first year of his contract overseeing his rehab with the hope that he can emerge as a healthy contributor to the bullpen in 2022. Before requiring the elbow procedure this summer, the hard-throwing right-hander made 111 relief appearances with the Angels between the 2018 and 2019 seasons, logging a 4.75 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and an 11.2 K/9.
