Team insiders were tight-lipped prior to today’s deal that brought 36-year-old reliever Brendan Burmaster to Texas.
Burmaster is considered one of the league’s A-list players and certainly will enhance any chances the Rangers have to win a playoff spot this year.
During his career, Burmaster has appeared in 559 games and captured 36 saves. To date he has 51 wins, 34 losses, and a 3.26 ERA.
