Will Mike Napoli return to the Rangers for a third time?
by Mitch Cox | Tue, Dec 27th 1:04am EST
The Texas Rangers continue to pursue power this off-season, and that might lead to another reunion with free-agent Mike Napoli. Napoli, who played for the Rangers in 2011-12 and again in 2015, is coming off a solid year for the American League champion Cleveland Indians. The slugger mashed 34 home runs and drove in 101. The downside, of course, is a batting average that hovered in the .230 range most of the season. (www.mlb.com)
Fantasy Impact:
The Rangers have lost Ian Desmond, Carlos Beltran and Mitch Moreland (not to mention Prince Fielder) from last year's squad. With Edwin Encarnacion signing with the Indians, and Napoli's desire to return to Texas a known commodity, it's possible that the 35-year old will be back in Arlington in 2017.
