Rangers signed RHP Tommy Hanson to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Hanson will be battling for a spot in the Texas starting rotation this spring in camp. The right-hander struggled with forearm issues and the sudden death of his step-brother in 2013, and wound up posting a rough 5.42 ERA and 1.55 WHIP in 73 innings with the Angels. He's only 27 years old and will try to revitalize what once looked to be a promising pitching career.
