Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers have until 4 p.m. tomorrow to reach an agreement on a contract. It's widely assumed the Japanese star pitcher and the Rangers will work out a deal, meaning that Darvish would pitch for Texas (likely as a No. 2 or 3 starter) in 2012.
If for some reason Darvish and Texas do not reach an agreement, he would return to Japan and the Rangers would be returned the $51.7 million they invested in the winning negotiation fee.
There's a bit of a pause in the Rangers' camp for right now until the Darvish news becomes official. It's after then that Texas can decide whether free agent first baseman Prince Fielder is a realistic option. Ditto for Roy Oswalt.
As we wait for the news, I wanted to post a video from a visit I took to Denver to visit my brother Dave for his birthday. We shot hoops for a while at the Denver Athletic Club, and captured a few memorable three-pointers on video.
What does this have to do with the Rangers? Sadly enough, this:
I suppose it's never the offseason in my world.
