Overview

  • Beeks joins on a one-year, $1.6 million contract that includes up to $1 million in appearance-based bonuses.
  • The 32-year-old posted a 3.77 ERA over 61 outings for Arizona last season and held left- and right-handed hitters to similar OPS marks.
  • Manager Skip Schumaker praised the late-camp addition as a needed left-handed relief option after Beeks impressed in a recent bullpen session.
  • Texas cleared a 40-man roster spot by designating Díaz for assignment after he allowed eight earned runs in 1 2/3 Cactus League innings following a difficult 2025.
  • The bullpen remains in flux, with Robert Garcia, Chris Martin, Jakob Junis, Tyler Alexander and Rule 5 pick Carter Baumler among the candidates as Opening Day roles are finalized.
