The Rangers are taking a flier on Cody Allen.
If added to the 40-man roster, Allen would get a one-year contract that includes a $1.3 million salary while in the major leagues.
Allen was 0-2 with four saves and a 6.26 ERA in 25 appearances for the Los Angeles Angels last season. The 31-year-old right-hander had at least 30 saves in three straight seasons with the Indians from 2015-17.The Angels released Allen last June after he spent time on the injured list with a lower back strain. He signed a minor league deal with Minnesota in June but was released about a month later after 11 appearances in the Twins’ farm system.
Texas also agreed to a minor league contract with left-hander Brandon Mann. The 35-year-old pitched in Japan last year. Mann was with the Rangers briefly in 2018 while spending most of the season with Texas’ Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock.More from Sportsnet
