Masahiro Tanaka will be pitching in the Major Leagues this coming season and some believe the Texas Rangers could make a play for his services.

Texas will be considered long shots, but can't be counted out.

"Club officials had indicated earlier they intended to pursue Tanaka if he was posted. Even with a $130 million obligation to Shin-Soo Choo pending a physical, the Rangers have nothing to lose by talking to Tanaka," writes Evan Grant.
