Beimel has signed a major-league deal with the Rangers, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. This shores up what was an incredibly thin left-handed contingent of the Texas bullpen. Beimel was one of the more improbably effective relievers last season, coming back from Tommy John surgery as a 37-year-old to pitch 45.0 innings with a 2.20 ERA. However, it was still improbable, as Beimel outperformed his FIP by nearly two runs. The Rangers needed a left-hander, but no one should expect nearly a strong a season as Beimel's previous one.
