Johnny Cueto Opts Out of Contract With Texas Rangers, Enters Free Agency
The Texas Rangers signed Johnny Cueto to a minor league deal back in April, but the former All-Star has elected to hit the open market again midway through the season.Veteran right-handed pitcher Johnny Cueto has opted out of his minor league contract with the Texas Rangers, The New York Post's Jon Heyman was first to report Tuesday afternoon.
Cueto joined the organization in April after spending the whole offseason in free agency. Now, he is a free agent yet again.
The 38-year-old righty made one appearance with the Arizona Complex League Rangers and eight starts with Triple-A Round Rock. Across those nine outings, Cueto went 2-1 with a 5.71 ERA, 1.220 WHIP and 7.5 strikeouts per nine innings.
Cueto last pitched in the big leagues in 2023 with the Miami Marlins, going 1-4 with a 6.02 ERA, 1.261 WHIP and 6.7 strikeouts per nine innings. Miami declined their player option on Cueto in November.
Just sayin': As a Giants fan I was excited when they got him as a free agent back in 2016; however, injuries and age have taken their toll. I'm not sure he has much "gas left in the tank".
