David Robertson Joins Texas Rangers on One-Year Deal
Veteran Reliever Expected to Bolster Bullpen for World Series Champions
- Veteran right-handed reliever David Robertson has agreed to a one-year contract with the Texas Rangers, reportedly worth around $11-12 million.
- Robertson, who turns 39 in April, has 175 career saves and a 2.90 ERA in 793 career appearances over 15 big league seasons.
- Last season, Robertson went 6-6 with a 3.03 ERA and 18 saves while splitting the season with the New York Mets and Miami Marlins.
- The Rangers, who won the World Series last season, ranked 24th in the majors in bullpen ERA and converted just 30 of 63 save opportunities.
- Robertson's addition is expected to strengthen the Rangers' bullpen, which lost key players to free agency.
