Rangers signed RHP Joe Nathan to a two-year, $14 million contract with a $9 million club option for 2014. Nathan agreed to the deal and took his physical in Texas on Monday night, then got introduced at a press conference Tuesday morning. The 37-year-old will take over at closer for the Rangers with Neftali Feliz transitioning to the starting rotation. Nathan found his groove in the second half of the 2011 season and should be able to ride that momentum into a solid 2012. He'll be a coveted fantasy closer once again.
