Rangers Add Ryan Tepera On Minor-League Deal
1 year agoThe Texas Rangers signed free-agent relief pitcher Ryan Tepera to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. He'll stay in the American League West and will report to Triple-A Round Rock after choosing free agency at the end of May. Tepera spent the last year and a half pitching for the Los Angeles Angels, and he had a rough 7.27 ERA (5.70 FIP), 2.08 WHIP, three walks and 10 strikeouts in 8 2/3 relief innings for the Halos this year. The 35-year-old veteran right-hander will provide organizational relief depth for Texas for the time being, but he's well off the fantasy radar. In nine big-league seasons with four different teams, Tepera has a 3.59 career ERA (4.06 FIP), 1.13 WHIP, 18 saves and a 24.5 percent strikeout rate in 363 1/3 innings pitched.
