The Rangers and Red Sox are "early rivals" for free agent catcher Brian McCann, according to the New York Daily News.
McCann and the Yankees also have mutual interest. A few executives who spoke with Daily News writer Andy Martino predicted that McCann will sign a contract worth more than $100 million, a figure one baseball official called "insane." McCann received a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Braves on Monday, so Atlanta will receive a compensatory pick if (when) he signs elsewhere.
