Rangers pick up former Royals LHP Gobble
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) - Former Kansas City Royals reliever Jimmy Gobble agreed to terms on a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers.

The deal was announced Saturday, a day after the Royals released Gobble. The left-hander was a supplemental pick in the 1999 draft and spent his entire career with Kansas City.

Gobble is expected to join the Rangers' major league camp Sunday.

The 27-year-old was 0-2 with an 8.81 ERA and one save in 39 relief appearances last season. A stiff lower back forced Gobble onto the disabled list from July to September, but he didn't allow a run in his final eight appearances after he returned.

Gobble is 22-23 with a 5.23 ERA in 235 career games over five seasons. He had a 4.91 ERA in four appearances for the Royals this spring.
