Gagne to Rangers according to Rosenthal

From Rotoworld:

The Rangers and Eric Gagne have reportedly agreed to a contract worth a guaranteed $8 million, pending a physical.

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal confirms that the deal is close. It's quite a sum for someone who has thrown 15 2/3 innings in two years. Even if he doesn't recover all of his velocity, Gagne will likely be a fine closer if healthy. Still, it's not so much of an upgrade for the Rangers unless Akinori Otsuka can be moved for a quality starter.

Should be an interesting physical...
