Ex-Giant, ex-St. Francis slugger Joc Pederson, 2 years, $37 million with the Rangers.
His line last year was .275/.393/.515/.908 with a 151 OPS+, pretty close to his first year (all-star year) with the Giants. 2.9 WAR, second best of his 11-year career. His OPS was 10th in MLB for all batters with at least 350 ABs.
Fun fact: Joc is notably a poor fielder, relegated to LF in general if not DH, but in 2016, he had the third best fielding percentage among NL center fielders.
Oddball note: in 449 plate appearances, Joc led the NL with 18 HBP, a career high.
