Rangers Sign Chasen Shreve, Peter Solomon To Minor League Deals

By Anthony Franco | May 10, 2024 at 8:44pm CDT

The Rangers have signed Chasen Shreve and Peter Solomon to minor league contracts, tweets Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. It seems likely that both pitchers will head to Triple-A Round Rock.

Shreve signed a minor league pact with Texas over the offseason. He was in camp as a non-roster invitee but didn’t make the team after allowing four runs through six innings. Shreve initially accepted an assignment to Round Rock. He made 10 appearances, working 10 1/3 frames of three-run ball, before triggering an opt-out at the start of May. Shreve spent a week exploring the market before circling back to Texas on a new minor league deal.

It’s fairly common for veterans of Shreve’s ilk to opt out of one minor league deal only to re-sign on a similar arrangement. The brief free agent stay at least gave his camp a chance to see if another team was willing to offer an immediate MLB job. It’s possible the new contract also contains another opt-out that wasn’t in the original deal.

Shreve has pitched parts of 10 seasons in the big leagues. He has a 3.97 ERA in 356 innings between seven clubs. The 33-year-old split last year with the Tigers and Reds. Shreve allowed 4.63 earned runs per nine with solid strikeout (23.3%) and walk (7.3%) numbers through 44 2/3 frames.

Solomon, 27, also pitched in the majors as recently as last season. He has far less MLB experience than Shreve, tallying 27 1/3 innings through 11 appearances in long relief. The Notre Dame product is a former fourth-round draftee of the Astros. He debuted with Houston in 2021 and made five appearances for the Diamondbacks early last season. Arizona ran him through outright waivers in June and he reached minor league free agency at year’s end.

The right-hander opened 2024 in independent ball. He signed with the High Point Rockers of the Atlantic League, where he started three games. Solomon’s nine runs allowed in 12 2/3 innings isn’t eye-catching, but he ran a 19:3 strikeout-to-walk ratio that evidently impressed the Rangers enough to give him another chance in affiliated ball.

Solomon has a 6.59 ERA with more walks than strikeouts in his abbreviated MLB work. He has pitched parts of three seasons in the Pacific Coast League, allowing a 6.16 ERA in 261 1/3 innings. Solomon has managed a decent 22.1% strikeout rate while working mostly out of the rotation at the top minor league level. He can pitch in the rotation or in long relief at Round Rock.

    Shreve is a perfect example that a LHP will always somewhere somehow find a job.

      I was a lefty CF’er in travel ball, but I pitched occasionally as a reliever in blowouts. I have a job in accounting, so I think your idea has legs.

    I think anybody throwing 85mph has a shot with the rangers presently. Comical that they lead the league in batting too even though they only decide to bring the bats out once a week. Doesnt speak highly for the rest of the AL
