Texas Rangers Sign Joc Pederson to 2-Year, $37M Deal

The veteran slugger joins his sixth MLB team following a career-best offensive season with the Diamondbacks in 2024.

Joc Pederson, 32, signed a two-year, $37 million contract with the Texas Rangers, including a player opt-out after the first year.
Pederson hit a career-high .275 with 23 home runs, 64 RBIs, and a .908 OPS in 2024 as the Arizona Diamondbacks' designated hitter.
The Rangers aim to bolster their offense with Pederson’s left-handed power, addressing a lineup that struggled at the DH position last season.
Pederson, a two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, has played for five MLB teams since his debut with the Dodgers in 2014.
Texas recently traded first baseman Nathaniel Lowe and plans to integrate Pederson alongside other additions like Jake Burger to strengthen their lineup.
