The Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball have signed Fabian to a three-year contract, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Romero says the deal is worth more than $5 million. Fabian had been on the Rangers' 40-man roster, but the Toyo Carp paid a buyout to Texas in order to sign the outfielder. The 26-year-old was hitless in five plate appearances with the Rangers in 2024 and put up an .805 OPS with 17 home runs at Triple-A Round Rock.

Rangers' Sandro Fabian: Dispatched to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Fabian to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
After coming up from the minors and making his MLB debut in early September, Fabian only managed to appear in three games, during which he went 0-for-5. He'll now end up without a spot on the active roster with Ezequiel Duran returning from paternity leave, but Fabian could be a candidate to take on a more prominent role with the Rangers in 2025 after turning in a .809 OPS at Round Rock this season.

Rangers' Sandro Fabian: Makes MLB debut Friday
Rotowire
Fabian started in left field and went 0-for-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Angels.
Fabian, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, made his MLB debut Friday, slotting in against a left-hander. He was eventually removed for a pinch hitter once a right-handed reliever entered the game. This was the second straight game in which Leody Taveras was held out of the starting lineup against a left-handed starter, so Fabian could be in line for opportunities against southpaws going forward. That includes Saturday, when the Angels have lefty Tyler Anderson scheduled to start.

Fabian was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday.
