Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Rangers are interested in impending free agent David Ortiz. The Red Sox are trying to lock up Big Papi before their exclusive negotiation window closes Saturday, but the latest word is that they probably won't be able to. Alex Speier of WEEI.com has confirmed Rosenthal's report and adds that the hangup with the Sox and Ortiz is over dollars, not years, as they're willing to give him the two-year pact he's seeking. Texas is viewing Papi as a left-handed hitting replacement for Josh Hamilton, who is expected to walk via free agency.
