3 years agoFree-agent right-hander Garrett Richards signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Texas Rangers on Thursday. The deal includes an option for the 2023 season. Richards was with the Boston Red Sox last season, posting a 4.87 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, three saves, 115 strikeouts and 60 walks in 40 appearances (22 starts) over 136 2/3 innings pitched. He began the season in the starting rotation before being moved to the bullpen when he wasn't effective. The 33-year-old is expected to serve in a multi-inning relief role in Texas, which won't make him attractive in fantasy circles. There's a chance that Richards eventually moves back into a starting role, but until that happens, you can ignore him.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
