Longtime Texas Rangers left-hander Martin Perez is leaving the club for a second time after signing a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The most tenured Texas Rangers player is leaving again.
Left-hander Martín Pérez has signed a one-year, $8 million deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates, according to multiple reports, including MLB Network’s Jon Heyman.
Perez, who came up through the Rangers organizations and debuted in the Majors in 2012, spent nine seasons with the club, including the past two.
Perez, who turns 33 in April, was pushed out of the starting rotation in July and was used out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season and postseason.
