Bartolo Colon Signs Deal With Texas Rangers

Bartolo Colon has signed another minor league contract with the Texas Rangers.  The team expects that the 44-year-old right-hander will start the fifth game of the season. He re-signed with the team Monday. Colon went to spring training with a minor league contract and had a 3.00 ERA over 18 innings in his five starts. The Rangers said when they cut him Saturday that they were working to renegotiate a new deal. The initial deal would have paid him $1.75 million had he been added to the 40-man roster. Texas also signed infielder Trevor Plouffe to another minor league deal. Both Plouffe and Colon were assigned to Triple-A Round Rock’s roster.

Bartolo Colon re-signs with Rangers, will he join the rotation?
