The Texas Rangers have added experienced depth to their pitching staff, signing right-hander in a move aimed at stabilizing the back end of the rotation ahead of the upcoming season.
Quantrill, 29, brings a track record of durability and big-league experience, having spent parts of several seasons as both a starter and swingman. Known for his ability to generate weak contact and work efficiently through lineups, he gives the Rangers a reliable option as they manage workloads and navigate the long season.
For Texas, the signing is as much about insurance as upside. With injuries and innings limits often shaping rotations over 162 games, Quantrill provides a dependable arm who can step into a starting role when needed or serve as depth at Triple-A if the rotation remains healthy.
Quantrill most recently pitched in the National League, where he showed flashes of his earlier success, including a strong run as a starter earlier in his career. Rangers officials believe a change of scenery and the club’s pitching development infrastructure could help him rediscover consistent form.
The move underscores Texas’ focus on pitching depth as they look to remain competitive, ensuring they have proven options ready if circumstances demand it.
