Inks minors deal with Texas
Cueto agreed to a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Cueto posted a 6.02 ERA and 1.26 WHIP through 52.1 innings with the Marlins last year, but the 38-year-old righty wasn't quite ready to retire in the offseason. He'll now make another push to get back into the majors, but even with the Rangers dealing with a plethora of injuries in their rotation, it's unlikely Cueto spends much time with the big-league team this season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bochy influenced decision
Cueto chose to sign a minor-league contract with the Rangers because he wants to pitch for a contender and due to his relationship with manager Bruce Bochy, reports Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear how many offers Cueto had to choose from, but Texas certainly doesn't represent his cleanest path to pitching in the majors. The 38-year-old had a 6.02 ERA in 13 outings for Miami last season and is a longshot to be a significant contributor for the Rangers this year.

Entering his age-36 season on the back of a three-year stretch in which he produced a 4.59 ERA, Cueto didn't generate much fanfare when he signed with the White Sox just three days before Opening Day. The late signing meant he wasn't ready to join the big-league club until mid-May, but he went on to produce an impressive 3.35 ERA in 25 outings. While that certainly helped many fantasy teams last year, there are reasons to doubt a repeat performance this season, with his 4.49 SIERA suggesting a heavy dose of skepticism. Cueto's 5.1 BB% was quite strong, but his 15.7 K% was second-worst among pitchers who threw at least 150 innings. Much of his success was thanks to his ability to avoid homers, but he got there via an unsustainably low 7.7% HR/FB rate rather than by keeping the ball on the ground at a high clip. The righty's resurgence was one of the better stories of 2022, and it's possible the wily veteran will produce a suitable follow-up act aftering joining Miami on a one-year deal, but that's far from guaranteed.
