The Texas Rangers and catcher Yorvit Torrealba have agreed to a two-year, $6.25 million contract.
Signing Torrealba fills a vacancy behind the plate for the Rangers, who entered the off-season with Taylor Teagarden as the team's only backstop under contract for next season.
Torrealba, 32, played in 95 games for the San Diego Padres in 2010, hitting .271 with seven home runs and 37 RBIs.
Texas is also contemplating bringing back free-agent Matt Treanor, who's expressed his desire to return to the Rangers in 2011.
The 34-year-old Treanor served as the club's backup catcher toward the end of the regular season and during the postseason, and would likely be used in a similar role next year.
