Rangers Add Relievers Alexis Díaz, Tyler Alexander on One-Year Deals
Texas prioritizes low-cost bullpen depth following multiple winter departures.
Overview
- Multiple reports say Texas reached one-year agreements with Díaz and Alexander, with no financial terms disclosed.
- Díaz, 29, seeks a rebound after an 8-plus ERA in 2025 across the Reds, Dodgers, and Braves following a 2023 All-Star season and 75 career saves.
- Alexander, 31, is a left-hander with starter-reliever versatility who has worked mostly in relief recently and finished 2025 with the White Sox.
- The additions align with the Rangers’ approach of short-term, cost-controlled bullpen options after exits by Phil Maton, Chris Martin, Jacob Webb, Hoby Milner, and Danny Coulombe.
- The moves follow a separate reported agreement with catcher Danny Jansen as Texas reshapes its roster for 2026.
