December 12, 2019 It has been reported that Donaldson is seeking a four-year deal and the Rangers preference is to offer him a three-year pact.
Ken Rosenthal reports that the 34-year-old “is seeking the largest possible guarantee," and all things being equal, his preference is to return to the Atlanta Braves.
The Dodgers, Twins and Nationals are among his other suitors.
It's unknown where the Rangers turn to from here.
Kris Bryant and
Nolan Arenado are two names that have been floated in trade rumors at this week's winter meetings, but they'll both cost Texas a bunch of prospects to land. They could always pivot and turn their attention to the other right-handed bats on the market in corner outfielders Nicholas Castellanos and Marcell Ozuna
