ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels is preparing for the winter meetings knowing free agent left-hander Cliff Lee will be a big focus for the AL champions.
What Daniels doesn’t know is whether Lee, the ace coveted by other teams, will make decision next week about where he will be playing next season.
Daniels said Friday that Lee is in “a pretty unique spot right now” and has a “tremendous decision to make.”
Daniels says he knows Lee has a “number of very quality options.” The GM says he doesn’t know how many teams are in the running for Lee, but believes the Rangers are “certainly right there near or at the top of the list.”
The Rangers acquired Lee in July.
