The Texas Rangers‘ offseason thus far has seen the franchise add to its roster from outside the organization, with signings such as relief pitcher Tyler Alexander, relief pitcher Alexis Diaz, and catcher Danny Jansen.
One of the Rangers’ divisional rivals, the Athletics, made it a priority to get a deal done with young star Tyler Soderstrom to keep him as an Athletic for many years to come. As reported by ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the extension is a seven-year, $86 million deal, which is the largest guarantee in franchise history.
