US EditionAndrew McCutchen, 39, and the Texas Rangers agree to a minor league contract
Andrew McCutchen, 39, could earn $1.5 million this season with the Rangers as a right-handed bat option to provide depth at designated hitter and outfield, complementing left-handed Joc Pederson.
- On Thursday, the Texas Rangers agreed to a minor-league contract with Andrew McCutchen, the 37-year-old outfielder and former NL MVP who spent last year with the Pirates.
- Seeking platoon balance behind primary DH Joc Pederson, the Rangers pursued McCutchen, who posted a.700 OPS last season, to add depth as a veteran right-handed bat.
- On Thursday the Texas Rangers agreed to a minor-league deal with Andrew McCutchen, who has three weeks of spring training to earn a spot after a.239/.333/.367/.700 season with 13 homers.
- Given outfield depth, the Rangers' roster positions McCutchen as depth rather than an everyday starter, with the club featuring Wyatt Langford, Evan Carter, and Brandon Nimmo. The deal aims to strengthen bench and DH options, especially after Carter's limited games last year.
- After last year’s nearly exclusive DH role, McCutchen's signing with the Rangers follows recent roster shifts, including Jurickson Profar's suspension, and his performance over several teams between 2018 and 2022.
