Rangers Sign Chase Anderson To Minors Contract

By Mark Polishuk | August 31, 2021 at 12:28pm CDT

The Rangers have inked right-hander Chase Anderson to a minor league contract, FanSided’s Robert Murray reports (Twitter link).  Anderson became a free agent two days ago after being released by the Phillies.

Should Anderson reach the Rangers’ active roster, Texas will owe him only the prorated portion of the minimum salary, as Philadelphia will cover the rest of the approximately $672K owed to Anderson from his guaranteed $4MM salary for the 2021 season.  That makes it a pretty low-cost investment for the Rangers, who have been auditioning younger pitchers in the rotation but might need Anderson to soak up some innings.

For Anderson, he gets a chance to salvage something from what has been a very rough two-year run for the veteran righty.  Since the start of the 2020 season, Anderson has a 6.94 ERA over 81 2/3 combined innings with the 2020 Blue Jays and the 2021 Phillies, with a garish 21 home runs allowed within that short sample size.  Anderson was still managing to strike out a respectable number (24.7% strikeout rate) of batters during his season with Toronto, yet even that ability fell off the table this year, as Anderson had only a 16.3% strikeout rate over his 48 innings with the Phils.

      Doesn’t mean he’ll be awful for the Rangers. Sometimes a different “voice” is needed and of course it doesn’t hurt to see what he’s got.

        I’m a Phillies fan and I can tell you that he’s awful. Not bad. Not very bad. Awful. At the next All Star Game Home Run Derby, he will be the hitters’ pitcher of choice. Good luck to the Rangers on this one. LOL.

    Where’s the obligatory statement in the article that signing before the end of August means he is eligible for the postseason?
    Oh yeah, Rangers.

    Okay, who’s going to be the first commenter to call Chase Anderson an ‘innings eater’. Come on, somebody’s dying to say it…

        So, you’re saying he’s more of an innings scavenger?
