Ken Rosenthal's latest notes column says the Rangers are unlikely to spend big for free agent Yoenis Cespedes
Texas Rangers rumors: Yoenis Cespedes is someone the Rangers inquired about as a trade target in the past, but is someone the Rangers are "unlikely" to spend big on this offseason, according to Ken Rosenthal in his latest notes column.
With the Rangers looking for a righthanded power hitter for the middle of their lineup, there's been much speculation that the Rangers could end up signing Cespedes -- Dave Cameron predicted Cespedes to Texas for 7 years, $150 million -- but Rosenthal says the biggest priority is a veteran starter to replace Yovani Gallardo, and with big commitments already on the books, he identifies Mike Napoli as a more likely target.
