The Rangers did not issue a one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer to Mike Napoli by Friday's deadline, meaning they won't receive compensation if he signs elsewhere as a free agent.

Texas has interest in re-signing Napoli, but they didn't want to risk having to pay him $13.3 million if he accepted the offer.

Napoli made $9.4 million in 2012. A salary of $13.3 million would have made him the third-highest-paid catcher in baseball behind Joe Mauer ($23 million annually) and Yadier Molina ($15 million annually).
