Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Just three days after not tendering a
contract offer to catcher Geovany Soto, the Texas Rangers signed him to a one-
year deal on Monday.
Although financial details were not released, the pact is believed to be worth
$2.75 million plus incentives.
Soto, 29, split time between the Chicago Cubs and the Rangers last season, in
which he hit a paltry .198 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI in a combined 99
games.
Over eight major league seasons, Soto is a career .248 hitter with 82 home
runs and 289 RBI.
The Rangers are also reportedly closing in on a two-year deal with former All-
Star closer Jaokim Soria.
