Rangers president Nolan Ryan confirmed to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston that the club has made an offer to free agent Lance Berkman.
No word on the specifics of the offer, but Ryan said that the Rangers are "looking for a DH" and feel that Berkman "would fill that bill." Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Friday morning that the Rays and Orioles have "reached out" to Berkman while Astros GM Jeff Luhnow has been in touch with the veteran slugger over the past two days. He still hasn't made up his mind about whether he'll play in 2013, but it sounds like a decision could be imminent.
