The Rangers have agreed to terms with Derek Lowe on a minor league deal,
according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News (on Twitter). The
right-hander is represented by Scott Boras, as shown in MLBTR's Agency
Database. While Lowe is not guaranteed anything, he will almost certainly
make the team, according to Grant.
Lowe, 39, spent 2012 with the Indians and Yankees, making 21 starts in
Cleveland and 17 appearances out of the pen for New York. While the veteran
has stated his preference for being in the rotation in the past, the Rangers
plan to use him as a reliever. In total, Lowe posted a 5.11 ERA with 3.5 K/9
and 3.2 BB/9 across 142 2/3 innings of work.
The 6'6" hurler had interest from other clubs this offseason and received a
minor league offer from the Rockies more than a month ago.
