ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Former All-Star reliever Alexis Díaz has signed with the Texas Rangers for the 2026 season.
The team announced the signing of the hard-throwing 29-year-old right-handed free agent on Tuesday night, a day after the Rangers signed catcher Danny Jansen and left-handed reliever Tyler Alexander in free agency.
Díaz had an 8.15 ERA in 18 appearances combined last season while pitching for Cincinnati, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta.
In his first three big league seasons with the Reds from 2022-24, Díaz had 75 saves and 3.10 ERA in 190 games. Cincinnati selected him in the 12th round of the 2015 amateur draft out of Puerto Rico.
Díaz was 7-3 with 10 saves and a 1.84 ERA in 59 games in 2022, when he finished fifth in NL Rookie of the Year voting. He was an All-Star the next season when he went 9-6 with 37 saves and a 3.07 ERA in 71 appearances.
Cincinnati traded him in May to the Dodgers, who later designated Díaz for assignment before he was claimed off waivers by the Braves in September.
Díaz is the younger brother of new Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz, a three-time All-Star who left the New York Mets last week to sign with Los Angeles.
