Texas Rangers Sign Hoby Milner to One-Year Deal

The Texas Rangers have signed left-handed reliever Hoby Milner to a one-year deal, pending a physical. Milner, who spent the last four seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers, had an up-and-down performance in 2024 with a 4.73 ERA but was notable for his low walk and barrel rates, suggesting some bad luck. In 2023, he had a standout season with a 1.82 ERA across 73 appearances. Milner, a Dallas native and University of Texas alumnus, joins the Rangers' bullpen as their third left-handed pitcher and could serve as a setup man. With his sidearm delivery and soft-contact pitching style, Milner aims to return to his 2023 form. This acquisition is part of the Rangers' strategy to rebuild their bullpen through one-year deals with non-tendered players.
