The Rangers remain interested in Prince Fielder, but Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News says it would likely take a creative, short-term deal to make it happen.
“I’m intimately aware of our budget and it’s very unlikely," said GM Jon Daniels to reporters (including MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan) when asked about Fielder. Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports corroborates these reports (Twitter link), saying the slugger's price must come way down.
No more and no less than one more team that is saying, Sure, Scott, at half that money.
There are, what, 20 teams that will take Fielder on the terms above. No wonder Boras was publicly rooting for a Darvish fail. That might have been his last decent hope.
