Barry Zito? Barry Zito? I knew Ron Washington might change the perception of free agents wanting to come here, but yikes. This was a surprise when it popped up in my RSS reader this afternoon.
Zito told Washington on Tuesday that the Rangers would be among the teams he would consider signing with this offseason.
Somehow given our history with things like this, you have to wonder if we wouldn’t be used to drive up the price for some other team. But then I never thought we’d sign Arod, either. :)
If he did sign here, he would be the first non spring training player to wear #75 in Rangers history. :)
