Return to Original ShareretweetEmailPrintARLINGTON, Texas (AP)—Texas Rangers owner Chuck Greenberg traveled to Arkansas on Thursday and presented Cliff Lee(notes) with an offer in an attempt to persuade the prized pitcher to remain with the team he helped reach the World Series.
Greenberg, Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine and co-chairman Ray Davis, a pipeline billionaire, met with Lee, the pitcher’s wife and agent Darek Braunecker at the agent’s office.
“We made an offer with substantial additional commitments in years and dollars,” Greenberg said. “It was a very constructive conversation.”
Before Thursday, the Rangers had asked Lee to tell them what it would take to for him to stay in Texas, which acquired from Seattle in July.
The New York Yankees added a year to their offer earlier in the day, proposing a seven-year contract for the 2008 AL Cy Young Award winner. On Wednesday, the Yankees had offered a six-year deal worth $137.5 million to $140 million.
Then the Boston Red Sox agreed Wednesday night to a $142 million, seven-year contract with All-Star outfielder Carl Crawford(notes). Greenberg said that deal changed the free-agent market dynamics and prompted the trip to Arkansas.
“A very positive discussion,” Greenberg said. “We reiterated our strong desire for him to remain a Ranger.”
Greenberg, whose group bought the team from Tom Hicks in August, said the Rangers weren’t given a timetable for Lee’s decision.
“We’d rather it be sooner than later,” the owner said, “but they have an enormous decision to make.”
He told friends if they offered a 6th year he'd stay.
Offer him the 6th year. Show the fan base you arent the "same old rangers"
Yup.
There I reworded the le. No pants deserves to be ted on. I couldn't live with that guilt.
I changed it back. I forgot I hate pants
Just hold on guys this thread is gonna be true eventually.
Fuuuuuck me. The Yanks offered Lee a 7TH. ING. YEAR?!
Lee is gonna stay in Texas. He is using the Yankees as leverage. As EricB said, a 6 year deal from the rangers will suffice. Don't worry Yankee fans. You still have AJ Burnett, and Ivan Nova (Who according to Yankee fans is gonna be a stud) to help out CC when Andy retires.
You ers sure cleaned up this off-season.Lee is gonna stay in Texas. He is using the Yankees as leverage. As EricB said, a 6 year deal from the rangers will suffice. Don't worry Yankee fans.

Hopefully they can stay healthy.The AL East is back down to Boston and New York again.
I don't know if you heard this but there are rumors floating around that Lee may be going to Boston. I don't believe them (mostly because Boston doesn't need Lee) but the are out there. Scout Downs i believe.
There's a part of me that wants to see just how far the Yankees will go -- to be the high bidder, would they offer him 8 years? 9 years? 10 years?
Would they offer him $25MM per? $30?
the MLB's lack of a salary cap sucks.
the Yanks could probably offer 8 or 9 at $25 mill and it wouldn't phase them.
Lee will definitely be a Yankee because the Yankees have no ceiling in the bidding process and the Rangers do. At some point, the Rangers will say "screw this, we'll go after Greinke instead".
Honestly I wouldn't want the Rangers to offer 7 years, even though rumor has it they already did.
id keep the bidding going then take the rangers cuz of the taxes. lol
I think offering any picther more than 5 is a bad idea.
As for Lee, he hasn't exactly lit it up during the regular season in the last two years any way.
It sucks, but the Rangers will be stupid if they try to keep up with the Yanks.
