Report: Rangers agree to 1-year, $6M deal with Ross

One highly coveted free-agent starter appears to have decided on a new home.

Right-hander Tyson Ross has agreed in principle to a one-year deal with the Texas Rangers, a source told T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com.

The contract is worth $6 million, according to sources of Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports.

Ross was considering four teams - two of which were the Chicago Cubs and Rangers, who were believed to be his most likely landing spots.

The 29-year-old made only one start last season due to thoracic outlet syndrome - an injury that affects blood vessels between the collarbone and first rib. When healthy, he proved to be the Padres' most reliable starting pitcher from 2013-2015, accumulating a 3.07 combined ERA and an even more impressive 3.13 FIP in 80 starts.

The Rangers' organization has a good history of rehabbing pitchers who have suffered from thoracic outlet syndrome, which helped influence Ross' decision to sign with the team, sources told Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Ross is the second Padres pitcher the Rangers have added as a free agent this offseason, previously agreeing to terms with Andrew Cashner on a one-year, $10-million deal in November.

With the potential Ross addition, the Rangers will enter 2017 with a starting rotation that includes Yu Darvish, Cole Hamels, Martin Perez, Ross, and Cashner.
