According to Bob Nigthengale of USA Today, former New York Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka has agreed to a two-year deal with the Texas Rangers.
“The Texas Rangers sign catcher Kyle Higashioka to a two-year deal and mutual option in 2027,” Nightengale wrote on December 2.
Nightengale added that the ex-Yankees catcher is loved for his defensive abilities, and his increased power numbers lead to optimism about him as a player.
“Higashioka is loved for his defensive skills and hit a career-high 17 homers last year in 246 at-bats with the San Diego Padres,” Nigthengale added.
How much Higashioka signed for has yet to be announced, but it shouldn’t be for too much.
