[外電] Rangers, Yu Darvish strike $60 million

[eleck ()]

Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers beat the deadline and made a deal, agreeing
to terms on a six-year, $60 million contract as the two-time defending
American League champions are betting almost $112 million that the latest
Japanese pitching star can keep them among baseball's elite franchises.

The Rangers announced they'd struck a deal with Darvish, and a club official
with knowledge of the contract confirmed its terms. The official was not
authorized to comment on the contract because it has not yet been finalized.

The Rangers' financial commitment to Darvish -- including a $51.7 million
posting fee paid to Darvish's Japanese club -- trumps the $103 million the
Boston Red Sox laid out to acquire Daisuke Matsuzaka in 2006.

But the newest Texas Rangers pitcher, a 25-year-old just entering his prime,
must be much better than his Japanese countryman if he's to make his new deal
worthwhile.

Darvish and the Rangers beat today's 5 p.m. ET deadline for getting the deal
done that makes him C.J. Wilson's replacement as the ace of the Texas staff.
His arrival also negates some of the inroads the AL West rival Los Angeles
Angels have made on the Rangers this offseason by signing Wilson and first
baseman Albert Pujols.

Matsuzaka signed a six-year deal -- for $52 million -- with the Red Sox
before the 2007 season, after the Red Sox paid $51.1 million for the right to
negotiate with him. Boston won the 2007 World Series as Matsuzaka went 15-12
with a 4.40 earned run average -- followed by an 18-3, 2.90 ERA season. But
the right-hander is just 16-15, 5.03 since and will miss much of the upcoming
final season of his contract recovering from elbow surgery.

Darvish -- at 6-5, 220 pounds -- is a bigger, stronger pitcher than
Matsuzaka. Hence, the willingness for the Rangers to add a big contract to
the $51.7 million posting fee they will pay the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters
now that a contract has been reached.

Darvish is coming off the best of his seven seasons as a professional in
Japan -- 18-6, 1.44 -- with the victories and ERA career highs, as were his
232 innings. He struck out 276 and walked 36. He's expected to be introduced
at a news conference in Arlington, Texas, on Friday.
