Not sure if it's been posted, apologies if it has. According to Heyman, it's worth $1.5 million.
http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/2013/ ... asor.html/The Texas Rangers have added sturdy veteran right-handed reliever Jason Frasor to a one-year deal.
The deal came together on Thursday after Frasor passed a physical.
Frasor, 35, was 1-1 with a 4.12 ERA in 43 2/3 innings with Toronto last season. He has been a set-up man throughout his career but has some experience as a closer.
Frasor is the Blue Jays’ all-time leader in appearances with 505. The club had no room for him in the wake of a busy off-season.

I know he has been around forever, but had no idea he held the record for most games.

Wow that's a very good deal for them, I expected closer to $3-$4million

Nelson Cruz is not a fan of this signing.

That is dirt cheap, good deal for the Rangers.
Sucks for Eli Whiteside though, what, gets waived for the 4th time in 3 months?

Never try to comprehend the madness that is the MLB reliever FA market.
Oh, player x got 4m, alright I guess that means player y should get 5m, maybe 2 years 10m even. Wait, player y got a 5 year 40m deal? Wow, player x is a steal, I wonder how player z should do, he's kind of in between those two. Oh, he signed a minor league camp invite deal you say? /brainmelts
That being said, that's about right for Frasor based on recent performance.

What are the odds the Jays claim him again? I say pretty high given what has happened this offseason

Seriously. Brandon League gets 4/27 and Frasor gets 1/1.5. Insanity.

Got sick of him waiting five minutes between every pitch.

Yeah, he was an extremely slow worker.
