Veteran right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy (39) signs a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers of the Major League (MLB) and continues his playing career.
The Texas Rangers announced on the 28th (Korean time) that they had signed five players to minor league contracts, including pitchers Kennedy, Danny Duffy, Reyes Moronta, and outfielders Clint Frazier and Travis Jankawski.
As invited players, they will participate in the Texas Spring Camp, which will be held in Arizona, USA next month.
