Outfielder Pederson, Texas Rangers agree on a deal

OF Joc Pederson and the Texas Rangers are in agreement on a deal pending a physical.

Last a designated hitter with the Arizona Diamondbacks, Joc, 32, refused his mutual option for the upcoming campaign.

Pederson struck .275 with 23 HRs and 64 RBIs this year, his debut campaign with Arizona after he inked a 1-year, 9.5 million dollar deal in the past offseason. The option for the upcoming campaign would have paid 14 million dollars.

The fun never ends! Joc Pederson heads to the Texas Rangers for a monster addition to their lineup.

Pederson will seemingly fill in for the loss of Nathaniel Lowe bringing them back to that lethal depth.
