Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Rangers are deep into talks with the Marlins for Jorge Cantu and are now taking a look at impending free agent 1B Derrek Lee of the Cubs. Nightengale also suggests that the Rangers are interested in acquiring another SP.
↵Aside from Lee’s remaining salary, he’s also on pace to be a Type B free agent which could drive up the cost for the Rangers should they acquire him from the Cubs.
