7 years agoTexas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said it's unlikely that the team will sign free-agent starter pitcher Yu Darvish or any of the other big-name free-agent pitchers. "We've maintained contact with Darvish, but I think it's unlikely we'll bring in one of the upper-end pitchers," Daniels said. Darvish went 6-9 with a 4.01 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 9.7 K/9 in 22 starts for Texas last year before being dealt to the Dodgers at the trade deadline. The Japanese right-hander looked terribly in the World Series, but when healthy, he remains one of the more dominant starters in baseball, and he should remain a fantasy ace no matter where he lands. The Cubs may be the favorites to sign him at this point.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
