The Texas Rangers have signed outfielder/designated hitter Joc Pederson to a two-year, $37 million contract, enhancing their lineup. Pederson, who had a strong 2024 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, brings a new approach that could benefit the Rangers significantly.
His role as the everyday DH against right-handed pitching fits perfectly with the team's current lineup structure. With the addition of Jake Burger and the departure of Nathaniel Lowe, Pederson is expected to surpass Lowe's previous offensive production.
While his fantasy value may be limited due to his lack of defensive play, his batting potential suggests he could achieve impressive stats in Texas. However, navigating his playing time against left-handed pitchers will be crucial for fantasy managers.
