Texas Rangers sign former Toronto Blue Jays right-handed pitcher

Edwards, 33, returns to his original organization. The Rangers drafted him back in 2013, though he was traded to the Cubs prior to his major league debut.

He went on to have his best years with the Cubs, winning a ring with them in 2016.

More recently, Edwards has been up and down as he has entered journeyman mode.

After a rough 2019 season, he struggled to get playing time for a few years. He had a nice bounceback with the Nationals in 2022.

He carried that over into 2023 somewhat but then got shut down in August of that year due to a stress fracture in his shoulder.

He was limited to just one major league appearance last year and has made just two this year.

His 2025 season has seen him go to Mexico and back a couple of times now. In early March, he signed with the Tigres de Quintana Roo.

But by late March, he had a minor league deal with the Angels. He was called up to the majors in late April, made two appearances for the Halos before being designated for assignment.

He cleared waivers, elected free agency and then rejoined the Tigres.

Though he's been a reliever throughout his MLB career, he's been starting for the Tigers for the past few months.

He tossed 74 2/3 innings over 14 starts with a 3.38 earned run average, 18.9% strikeout rate and 7.5% walk rate.

For context, it's worth pointing out that the Mexican League is very hitter-friendly, with a league-wide ERA of 5.90 this year.
