By Sam Hofberg The Texas Rangers own the rights to exclusively negotiate a contract with highly coveted Japanese pitcher, Yu Darvish. If the Rangers and Darvish cannot reach an agreement, Darvish must return to the Nippon-Ham Fighters,
Yu Darvish must meet a "series of demanding performance clauses" to trigger his five-year opt-out, according to Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. It was reported earlier that Darvish could opt out of his new six-year, $60 million contract
The Rangers have a little more than two days to get Yu Darvish signed (check out our countdown clock on the ESPN Dallas home page) and assuming they do, that would mean a gaggle of starters heading to Surprise, Ariz., for spring training.
The gamble on Yu Darvish has paid off for the Texas Rangers.
