The Rangers will sign Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish before Wednesday afternoon's deadline, according to sources.
The contract will likely be for six years. Texas paid a reported $51.7 posting bid just for the right to negotiate with Darvish.
Darvish, 25, has been the ace of the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters for five years.
