CINCINNATI \u2014\u00a0Former All-Star reliever Alexis D\u00edaz has signed with the Texas Rangers for the 2026 season.<\/p>\n

The team announced the signing of the hard-throwing 29-year-old right-handed free agent on Tuesday night, a day after the\u00a0Rangers signed catcher Danny Jansen<\/a>\u00a0and left-handed reliever Tyler Alexander in free agency.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz had an 8.15 ERA in 18 appearances combined last season while pitching for Cincinnati, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta.<\/p>\n

In his first three big league seasons with the Reds from 2022-24, D\u00edaz had 75 saves and 3.10 ERA in 190 games. Cincinnati selected him in the 12th round of the 2015 amateur draft out of Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz was 7-3 with 10 saves and a 1.84 ERA in 59 games in 2022, when he finished fifth in NL Rookie of the Year voting. He was an All-Star the next season when he went 9-6 with 37 saves and a 3.07 ERA in 71 appearances.<\/p>\n

Cincinnati traded him in May to the Dodgers, who later designated D\u00edaz for assignment before he was claimed off waivers by the Braves in September.<\/p>\n

D\u00edaz is the younger brother of new Dodgers closer Edwin D\u00edaz, a three-time All-Star who left the New York Mets last week to sign with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CINCINNATI \u2014\u00a0Former All-Star reliever Alexis D\u00edaz has signed with the Texas Rangers for the 2026 season.
