Big free-agent splash not in Rangers` plans
(MLB.com Texas Rangers)

Free-agent infielder Manny Machado is 26 and a proven offensive star who hit .297 with 37 home runs, 107 RBIs and a .538 slugging percentage for the Orioles and Dodgers this past season. He would seem to be a good long-term fit for the Rangers as they rebuild their team around young players and get ready to move into a new ballpark in 2020.
