Texas Rangers acquire pitcher who was a two-time All-Star.
By selecting a former two-time All-Star pitcher, the Texas Rangers are taking a chance.
Johnny Cueto was signed by the Rangers to a minor league contract on Tuesday.
Cueto is reportedly attracted to the Rangers due to his familiarity with Bruce Bochy, the team’s manager, and his perception of the defending World Series champions as a contender.
Cueto played for the Giants from 2016 to 2021. During the initial four seasons, Bochy oversaw San Francisco’s operations.
2012 saw 19 games won by Cueto, 20 games in 2014, and 18 games in 2016. In 2022, he had his best season ever with the White Sox, going 8–10 with a 3.35 ERA. The 38-year-old spent 13 games with the Marlins last season, going 1-4 with a 6.02 ERA.
The Rangers’ performance upon entering play on Tuesday, 12-11, was sufficient to secure them the top spot in the AL West.
