ARLINGTON -- The Rangers have reached a tentative agreement with left-handed reliever Darren Oliver on a one-year deal for 2010 plus a vesting option for 2011, according to industry sources. The team has not confirmed the signing.
The deal is pending a physical, which is scheduled for Tuesday. Oliver will receive $3.5 million in 2010.
Oliver was 5-1 with a 2.71 ERA in 63 games for the Angels in 2009 and is 15-3 with a 3.10 ERA in 178 games over the past three years.
He joins C.J. Wilson in giving the Rangers two veteran left-handed relievers in the bullpen. The Rangers are considering moving Wilson into the rotation.
