Free-agent outfielder Joc Pederson and the Texas Rangers have agreed to a two-year deal, multiple outlets reported Monday.
ESPN said the contract, pending a physical, is worth $37 million and includes a player opt-out after the first year.
Texas will be the sixth team for Pederson, 32.
He spent the 2024 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, serving as their designated hitter, after signing a one-year, $12.5 million contract. He declined his $14 million mutual option.
In Arizona, he hit .275 with 23 home runs and 64 RBIs over 132 games. He did most of his damage against right-handed pitchers, batting .281 with 22 home runs and 60 RBIs while hitting .219 in limited action against lefties.
A two-time All-Star and two-time World Series winner, Pederson was an 11th-round draft pick out of high school in 2010 by the Dodgers. He played in Los Angeles for seven seasons (2014-20) before spending time with the Chicago Cubs (2021), Atlanta Braves (2021), San Francisco Giants (2022-23) and Diamondbacks.
Pederson is a career .241 hitter with 887 hits, 209 home runs and 549 RBIs in 1,272 games.
