The 37-year-old Figueroa joined the Rangers after eight seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays organization.

A former infielder, Figueroa spent three seasons in the Majors with the Rays (2014), Yankees (2015), and Pirates (2016) before beginning his career in baseball operations. His final MLB hit came with the Pirates on May 28, 2016 at the former Globe Life Park, a single off Yu Darvish. A native of Tallahassee, Fla., he was selected by the Padres in the sixth round of the 2008 MLB Draft out of the University of Florida.
Figueroa and his wife, Natalie, and son, Coleman, will relocate to the DFW Metroplex this year.
