Rangers signed C Cooper Johnson to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.
The 26-year-old backstop spent the 2024 season stationed at Double-A Frisco where he slashed .235/.355/.474 with 14 homers, 46 RBI and a 78/44 K/BB ratio across 300 plate appearances. He’ll serve as an extra body behind the plate during spring training and should ultimately wind up at Triple-A Round Rock to open the 2025 season.
