Shin-Soo Choo has agreed to terms on a seven-year deal for $130 million with the Texas Rangers, taking the final impact hitter off the free agent market and completing a potent off-season makeover in Arlington.
Two people familiar with the negotiations confirmed Choo's agreement with the Rangers. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been finalized.
Choo had turned down a seven-year, $140 million offer from the New York Yankees before the Yankees agreed to terms on a $153 million deal with outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
But Choo's deal with the Rangers may have a greater value for him given that there is no state income tax in Texas.
Choo's agreement was first reported by CBS Sports.
Choo will give the Rangers a daunting middle of the lineup as he teams with third baseman Adrian Beltre and first baseman Prince Fielder, acquired from the Detroit Tigers last month.
