Rangers general manager Jon Daniels has hinted that first base is a position that will be filled internally, but they will at least check on outside options. Big-name free agents Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder are on the open market. The upcoming free agency of players like Nelson Cruz, Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler, Elvis Andrus and others could prevent the Rangers from spending a lot of money on a first baseman such as Pujols and Fielder.
