Rangers sign 9.2 K/9 RHP to contract in free agency

The Texas Rangers have added an intriguing arm to their organization.

On Tuesday, the team announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Declan Cronin.

Cronin most recently pitched for the Miami Marlins .

It's a signing with an eye on the future for Texas. Cronin recently underwent Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss all of the 2026 season. While contract terms weren't disclosed, it makes sense for it to be a two-year deal for the Rangers, where Cronin can rehab with their training staff in year one while getting back on the mound in 2027.

Cronin made 56 appearances out of the Marlins bullpen in 2024. He struck out 9.2 batters per nine innings while putting up a 4.35 ERA.

He has been injury prone.
