HBT: Are Rangers out of bidding for Fielder?

Last week general manager Jon Daniels admitted that Texas was ?very unlikely? to sign Prince Fielder and now Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports that the Rangers ?believe they are out of the bidding? for the slugging first baseman.

Fielder met with Rangers officials in Dallas earlier this month, but it?s unclear if talks even reached the offer stage and since then Texas spent $112 million on Yu Darvish.

If the Rangers are indeed out of the mix that seemingly makes the Nationals overwhelming favorites to sign Fielder, although based on various reports that?s probably been the case all along.

It?s possible a team like the Orioles could swoop in with a huge offer, but the Marlins, Mariners, Tigers, and now Rangers are said not to be involved and the usual huge-spending teams don?t really have a big need for Fielder even if they badly wanted him. And it doesn?t hurt that the Nationals? roster is already packed with prominent Scott Boras clients.
