The Rangers have less than a week to work out a contract with Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish, for whom they committed a record $51,703,411 posting fee back in mid-December. But there?s no concern within the organization about the ticking clock.
According to Richard Durrett of ESPN Dallas, Rangers president Nolan Ryan said Thursday night that he?s ?optimistic? about reaching a deal before next Wednesday?s deadline. Here?s the quote:
?My expectation is that we?ll get something done,? said Ryan. ?It?s a process, so during the period that we negotiate with someone, we really don?t talk about it. I?m optimistic.?
The Rangers? first offer to Darvish was said to be in the range of the six-year, $52 million contract that Daisuke Matsuzaka signed with the Red Sox in December of 2006. Darvish, meanwhile, is reportedly seeking?a deal worth closer to $75 million in total value. So there?s likely still work to be done.
