Texas Rangers Sign Two New Pitchers
Chavez, 41, is returning for his third stint with the Rangers, bringing 17 years of MLB experience. After pitching for the Atlanta Braves in 2024, he posted a 3.13 ERA over 63.1 innings, excelling in the first half before encountering some late-season struggles.
"I’m not ready to hang it up yet," Chavez said, as he prepares to compete for a bullpen role on the Rangers.
