4:17pm: Nolan Ryan confirmed to Berman that the Rangers have an offer out to Berkman (Twitter link). "We are looking for a designated hitter," Ryan said. "We feel like he would fill that bill."


I feel that possibly the astros will have the edge in that we will allow him to play 1b/of as well as dh. Plus end where he started. The rangers would have the edge of playing on a better team.
