The Texas Rangers signed outfielder Ryan Ludwick to a minor-league contract on Wednesday with an invitation to spring training.
The deal would be worth $1.75 million if the former All-Star makes the opening-day roster, the Fort Worth Star Telegram reported.
The 36-year-old spent the past three seasons with the Cincinnati Reds. After batting .275 with 26 home runs and 80 RBIs in 2012, he had a combined 11 homers and 57 RBIs the last two years.
In parts of 12 major-league seasons with the Rangers, Cleveland Indians, St. Louis Cardinals, San Diego Padres, Pittsburgh Pirates and Reds, Ludwick has 154 career homers and 587 RBIs while batting .260.
