The Rangers Have Until 4pm Central to Sign Yu Darvish
By Tim Ryan
Negotiations were said to have gone well into the night and based on several reports, things don’t exactly sound optimistic as “there are definitely still some differences that have cooled the Rangers optimism.” So is this just negotiation speak, or are the Rangers ready to ditch the Darvish plan and go after Prince Fielder, who’s been standing on the corner in the freezing cold like a forgotten hooker?
The guess is Texas ends up signing Darvish before the deadline this afternoon and then GM Jon Daniels makes an attempt to lure Scott Boras and Fielder with something short term, which will likely be greeted with a pair of double-barrel birds.
