Surprise, Arizona — The Texas Rangers have secured a one-year contract with reliever Luke Jackson, guaranteeing him a salary of $1.5 million. Should he take on a significant role as a closer, his earning potential could rise to as much as $4 million.

This contract, which was made public on Monday, features performance incentives that could net Jackson additional financial rewards worth $1.75 million if he meets targets for games played and $750,000 for games finished.

At 33 years old, Jackson’s bonus structure includes $75,000 for appearing in 20 games, increasing progressively up to $350,000 if he takes the mound in 60 games. In addition, he could earn bonuses for games finished: $50,000 for 25 finishes, up to $250,000 for completing 45 games.

Jackson, who has accumulated 19 saves throughout his major league career, notably recorded 18 saves during his time with Atlanta in 2019. The Rangers originally selected him 45th overall in the 2010 amateur draft. He made his major league debut with Texas in 2015, where he appeared in 15 games before being traded to Atlanta post the 2016 season.

In the previous year, he made 52 relief appearances across both San Francisco and Atlanta, finishing with a record of 4-3 and an earned run average (ERA) of 5.09. Jackson had a 4-2 record and a 5.40 ERA in 36 games for the Giants, while his tenure with the Braves saw him go 0-1 with a 4.50 ERA in 16 games.

Throughout his career spanning over 338 relief appearances, Jackson holds a record of 22-11 with 19 saves and a 4.24 ERA. His previous stints include time with the Rangers (2015-2016), Braves (2017-2021, 2024), and Giants (2023). Notably, he was part of the Braves team that clinched the World Series title in 2021, but he missed the entire 2022 season due to Tommy John surgery.
