BREAKING NEWS: Diamondbacks designated hitter Joc Pederson has reportedly agreed to a deal with the Texas Rangers.

According to ESPN's Buster Olney, it's a two-year, $37 million deal with an opt-out after the first season.

Pederson declined a $14 million mutual option with a $3 million buyout from the Diamondbacks at the start of the offseason to enter free agency ahead of his age 33 season.

The D-backs inked Pederson to a $12.5 million deal for 2024, and the veteran was just about as good as the D-backs bargained for in his role. Pederson did not play an inning in the field and seldom faced left-handers.

Pederson crushed right-handed pitchers, producing a career-high .908 OPS (.275/.393/.515) in 132 games while batting third for the D-backs against righties. 

He added 23 home runs for an offense that led Major League Baseball in scoring, creating a powerful 1-2 punch with Christian Walker behind Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte. He was particularly outstanding in July and August when he earned a 1.050 OPS with 11 homers in 43 games. (📸: Felisa Cardenas/Arizona Sports)
