At 60+ it won't matter. I doubt we match that. I'm feeling less enthusiastic about next year.

I am as well.

According to a source, the Rangers have a seven-year offer on the table to free agent outfielder Shin-Soo Choo and he is giving it serious consideration. The offer is less than the $153 million deal that Jacoby Ellsbury signed with the Yankees this off-season but is still strong enough for Choo to consider.

The Rangers had a two-hour meeting with Chin prior to the Winter Meetings and gave him a strong sales pitch about coming to Texas. Choo turned down a six-year offer from the Rangers, according to the source. But now it appears the Rangers have gone seven years and could have a good chance to sign him at possibly around $130 million.

The Rangers have not commented on their negotiations with Choo so far at the Winter Meetings. Privately club officials have suggested they are not going to be able to sign Choo. But that may be changing.

Rangers have offer to Choo that?s getting serious consideration « Postcards From Elysian Fields

The mariners offered him 8 correct? Damn. I knew we only offered him 7. Its amazing how my friend figures this stuff out even though he's not even there lol. Follow your dreams people. He wanted to work that job for 10 years and he made it happen. Now he gets all the information before it happens. I'm jealous of him so ridiculously bad. He gets to do that for a living? Jeez

Last I read, he had an offer of 7yrs in hand - but they were holding out for 8yrs.

Bingo. Got a text back. The offer that we have for Choo is 7 years. Choo and the Rangers are really close to agreeing. If we agree, there will likely be an option for an 8th year or a buyout. I don't think therangers are gonna guarantee that 8th year. But yes. Great news. We're in the lead

In a vacuum I'd say no fucking way, but where this team is on win curve and it not being my money...love it

Besides McCann, that'll prob be best deal of winter. Wish Texas would sign him

 

[romeo212000]

Even if we sign choo we still need another bat or our lineup turns to crap after Beltre.

 

[Justinkm83]

7/130 is 18 AAV. That leaves money to make another signing IMO.

Also in the lead for cruz I'm being told. He said they had a meeting with his agent recently and it was extremely productive and everyone is convinced nelly wants to come back. He just doesnt wanna be cheapshotted
