Brian Barden has signed a contract with the Hiroshima Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball.
Barden opted out of his minor league pact with the Rangers on July 1 after batting .357/.403/.556 in 232 plate appearances at Triple-A Round Rock but failing to earn a promotion to the major leagues. The 30-year-old infielder should do well overseas.
