Reports indicate the Texas Rangers signed Doug Fister to a one-year, $4 million contract:
Claimed off waivers in late May because the Boston Red Sox were in need of pitching depth, Fister helped secure his new deal for 2018 by putting together a solid seven-start stretch in the middle of last season.
The Rangers may not have a lot of confidence in that seven game stretch, so they are paying Fister for about a 1/2 WAR season. If he indeed improved, he’ll pitch for a much better salary in the future, although the Rangers have an option for 2019. There’s no downside to the deal for the Rangers, and plenty of upside.
