Rangers acquire Ivan Rodriguez

Rangers, Astros agree to Pudge trade

The Rangers have agreed to trade two minor leaguers to the Houston Astros for Rodriguez, who was Texas' catcher the last time the franchise made the playoffs in 1999.

Rodriguez will back up Taylor Teagarden, who has started while Jarrod Saltalamacchia has been on the disabled list.

The Rangers are responsible for a prorated part of the $1.5 million, one-year contract, which includes $1.5 million in incentives, that Rodriguez signed with the Astros in March, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Rodriguez, who is hitting .251 with eight home runs and 34 RBIs this season, played for the Rangers from 1991 to 2002, winning 10 Gold Gloves and the AL MVP in 1999.
