The Texas Rangers agreed to a 10-year deal with free agent shortstop Corey Seager on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN reported.
Seager has spent his entire professional career with the Los Angeles Dodgers, ever since they drafted him in the first round of the 2012 draft. He’s been one of the best shortstops in baseball since his debut in 2015, racking up 23.7 fWAR and posting a .297/.367/.504 batting line, good for a 132 wRC+.
Seager, 27, has made three World Series appearances, including one championship. He’s been a cornerstone for the Dodgers, who now have Trea Turner to fill his place.
Seager joins Marcus Semien, Jon Gray and Willie Calhoun as free agents the Rangers have signed this offseason.
