Rangers Bolster Bullpen with Junis Deal
19 Jan
Summary
- Texas Rangers signed reliever Jakob Junis for one year.
- Junis posted a 2.97 ERA for the Guardians last season.
- He is known for throwing strikes and avoiding hard contact.
The Texas Rangers have strengthened their bullpen by signing right-handed pitcher Jakob Junis to a one-year contract worth $4 million. This move aims to add depth and reliability to a relief corps that has experienced considerable changes over the past two years.
Junis, 33, brings a proven track record of efficiency, having recorded a 2.97 ERA in 57 appearances for the Cleveland Guardians last season. His ability to consistently throw strikes and prevent batters from hitting the ball hard makes him a valuable asset.
With nine years of experience, Junis has a career 4.36 ERA and is capable of pitching multiple innings, a skill developed during his time as a starting pitcher. He joins other recent additions to the Rangers' bullpen, including Alex Diaz and Chris Martin.
