Rangers signed DH Andrew McCutchen to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Perhaps it’s as simple as giving the Rangers a more-threatening right-handed platoon option for Joc Pederson. McCutchen hit .284/.366/.433 in 36 starts against left-handers last year, but just .239/.333/.367 overall. Entering his age-39 season, McCutchen doesn’t have any real fantasy value outside of playing him in daily transaction leagues against a left-handed starter. He also is by no means guaranteed to make the Rangers based on the date of his signing and the minor-league deal.
