Rangers signed RHP Derek Lowe to a minor league contract. Even though it's a minor league deal, the Dallas Morning News' Evan Grant writes that Lowe "almost certainly makes the team." It will be as a long reliever, though, as Lowe is not considered a candidate for the No. 5 spot in the rotation. That said, it's certainly possible he could be given a shot if others don't work out.
