ARLINGTON, Texas — A person with knowledge of the deal says the Texas Rangers and free agent designated hitter Joc Pederson have agreed on a contract. The Rangers will be the third team in three years for Pederson. He rebounded from a sub-par 2023 season with San Francisco to hit a career-best .275 with 23 homers and 64 RBIs last season with Arizona. The 32-year-old Pederson spent his first six full big league seasons as an outfielder with the Los Angeles Dodgers and was an All-Star as a rookie in 2015. Texas also added another reliever with the free agent signing of right-hander Shawn Armstrong to a $1.25 million, one-year deal.
