Texas Rangers Sign All-Star Patrick Corbin After Jon Gray Injury

The Texas Rangers have signed veteran pitcher Patrick Corbin to a one-year contract as they seek to bolster their pitching depth ahead of the 2025 season. Corbin, a two-time All-Star who previously played for the Washington Nationals, comes in after the team placed Jon Gray on the 60-day injured list due to a forearm fracture. The deal is reported to be worth just over $1 million, with additional performance incentives. Despite a tough few seasons where he has struggled with a high ERA and numerous losses, Corbin's durability and experience are seen as valuable assets for a Rangers team dealing with multiple pitching injuries. Manager Bruce Bochy has also indicated that Corbin's presence may help stabilize the rotation until the return of other injured pitchers. Corbin's past contributions to the Nationals, including a key role in their 2019 World Series win, highlight his potential to provide guidance and innings for the Rangers.
