Report: Lance Berkman speaking to Rangers
Lance Berkman - 1B - St Louis Cardinals
Jan. 2, 2013 - 8:50 PM ET
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that free agent Lance Berkman has engaged in talks with the Rangers.
Berkman is known to be considering retirement, but the allure of playing for a contender -- in his home state, nonetheless -- might be enough to sway "Big Puma." The Astros were also interested in Berkman at one point this winter, but they have a crowded depth chart at first base and designated hitter. And they also have no hope of competing in the American League West in 2013.
