Per Evan Grant of the DMN, the Rangers will not get Daisuke Matsuzaka.
Grant says that the Rangers bid $27 million, but that won't be enough to get the right to negotiate with Matsuzaka.
I can't knock the Rangers on this one...if you'd told me a week ago that was the Rangers' bid, I'd have said they'd get him.
I'm disappointed, but the team made a strong, legitimate bid, and that's all you can ask.
