SURPRISE, Ariz. - Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez has re-joined the Texas
Rangers organization as a special assistant to the general manager with several
different roles.
Rodriguez made his major league debut as a 19-year-old for the Rangers in
1991. The 14-time All-Star catcher retired as a player last April after 21
seasons, more than half spent in Texas.
The Rangers announced Pudge's return to the organization Thursday. They say
he will assist the team in several areas, including international scouting,
player instruction on the major and minor league levels and talent evaluation.
He will also represent the team in community and marketing endeavors.
Rodriguez traveled to the Dominican Republic with Rangers officials last
month. He is expected to join the team in Arizona for spring training for a few
days late next week.
