Yu Darvish has headed back to Japan. Darvish spent all of Tuesday and most of Wednesday visiting the Dallas-Forth Worth Metroplex and meeting with Rangers officials. It's not known if negotiations took place. The 25-year-old right-hander posted a 1.44 ERA and 276/36 K/BB ratio across 232 innings last year in Nippon Professional Baseball and is thought to be seeking a five-year, $75 million deal from Texas.
