Blake Wood

Age 33

ERA vs. AL West Opponents:

Houston Astros: 1.59 (6 appearances)

Oakland Athletics: 4.08 (15 appearances)

Seattle Mariners: 7.11 (10 appearances)

Los Angeles Angels: 1.00 (7 appearances)

Wood has pitched in only 13 games and has just 11.2 innings to his name in 2018. However, in limited action, he has a 2.81 ERA and a .211 opponents batting average.

The 6’5” right-hander would be the least expensive of the five relievers mentioned. That’s not necessarily a turn off considering the Texas Rangers are in the midst of a rebuild. If they are going to take a risk, there’s nothing wrong with it being a minimal risk.
