The Rangers have been told that Zito will not accept their six year, 84 million dollar deal and is nearing a deal with the Giants. Zito, who went 16-10 with a 3.83 ERA, was drawing interest from the Mets, Mariners, Angels and the Yankees.

According to Jon Heyman, The Giants and Barry Zito are on the verge of signing a seven year deal, worth 126 million dollars.

if i was jim hendry, i'd offer zambrano 10/200 today and keep him signed up because he'll be winning all 10 years and if the cubs lose him, they are pretty much screwed for years to come.

It's a done deal according to radio stations now 7 years 126 million with an option for an 8th year at 18 million. Wow, so much money for such a mediocre pitcher
