Rangers sign Gagne

At MLB Trade Rumors, writes about the Rangers and their signing of Eric Gagne:

Don't hold me to it (my French is rusty) but appears that Eric Gagne may have signed with the Rangers for one year and $8MM, pending a physical. Any expert translators out there?

This may have been in the works for a while, given that Jon Daniels has already begun shopping Akinori Otsuka.
