Rangers make bid for Tazawa; Sox still the favorite

NPB Tracker is now reporting that the Rangers have also made an offer to Junichi Tazawa and that the young starter has yet to officially sign with a major league club.

The details regarding the Rangers offer have yet to be announced, but NPB says it was "the best offer yet."

That said, the Red Sox have strong ties in Japan and offer the best comfort level for Tazawa with Matsuzaka and Okajima already on the roster.

NPB also says that Atlanta and Seattle are also in the mix...
