Choo, Rangers agree 7-year deal
Print Edition
Free-agent outfielder Choo Shin-soo of South Korea agreed to a US$130 million, seven-year contract with the Texas Rangers, a person familiar with the deal said yesterday.
The deal came a month after the Rangers acquired five-time All-Star first baseman Prince Fielder in a trade with Detroit for second baseman Ian Kinsler, their primary leadoff hitter. Texas now gets the best offensive player left in free agency, with both additions to be under contract through the 2020 season. Choo’s deal, worth about US$18.6 million per season, is the third highest this offseason. Second baseman Robinson Cano got US$240 million over 10 years from Seattle and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury signed a US$153 million, seven-year contract with the New York Yankees. Choo, 31, could be at the top or in the middle of the Texas lineup. He was Cincinnati’s leadoff hitter for 143 games last season.
