Texas Rangers Bolster Bullpen with Veteran Lefty
13 Mar
Summary
- Texas Rangers nearing a deal with left-handed reliever Jalen Beeks.
- Beeks could provide crucial left-handed balance to the Rangers' bullpen.
- He has a career record of 28-18 with a 4.31 ERA in 263 games.
The Texas Rangers are reportedly on the verge of acquiring veteran left-handed reliever Jalen Beeks, aiming to enhance their bullpen before the regular season commences. This potential signing, pending a physical, would add valuable left-handed depth. Beeks' addition is particularly significant if Jacob Latz transitions to a starting rotation role.
Beeks, who previously played for the Arizona Diamondbacks, recorded a 5-3 win-loss record with a 3.77 ERA in 61 games last season. He has a career MLB record of 28-18 with a 4.31 ERA over 263 appearances. The Rangers would need to make a roster move to accommodate Beeks, possibly by placing a player on the injured list.
This move comes as the Rangers continue to shape their roster. Several other pitchers are competing for bullpen spots, including those on the 40-man roster and non-roster invitees. The team's bullpen composition is still not definitively set as opening day approaches.
