ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) A person with knowledge of the deal says the Texas Rangers and right-hander Tyson Ross have agreed on a $6 million, one-year contract.
The person spoke to The Association Press on condition of anonymity Friday night because the deal was pending a physical.
Ross, who made just one start for San Diego last season because of shoulder problems, becomes a candidate for a rotation led by aces Cole Hamels and Yu Darvish and including Martin Perez.
Another possible starter is another right-hander coming from the Padres: Texas native Andrew Cashner, who agreed to a deal in November.
The 29-year-old Ross is 32-53 with a 3.64 ERA in 153 career appearances, including 102 starts. He made 64 starts for the Padres over two seasons in 2014-15, earning 23 of his wins.
