Texas Rangers, Yu Darvish Agree to 6-year, $60M Deal

6:05 PM EST: Anthony Andro is reporting that it's actually a 5-year deal with a player option 6th year.

4:36PM EST: The Texas Rangers have finally signed Yu Darvish, according to Jon Heyman. The deal is for five years, $60 million, according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. That puts the total price to acquire Darvish at $112 million, with the posting fee.

The deal came down to the wire, with minutes left to go before the deadline. Failing to sign would've kept Darvish with the Nippon Ham Fighters -- and the Rangers would've kept their $52 million posting fee. Now, though, they have their phenom.

The big question going forward is whether the $112M+ they're spending to get him could've been better spent, either in keeping C.J. Wilson or pursuing Prince Fielder. What do you think? Good investment?
