Center fielder expressed desire to remain in the team

It is reported that both outfielder Marlon Byrd and catcher Ivan Rodriguez have turned down the Rangers' offer with Rodriguez agreeing to a two-year deal with the Nationals. The Rangers is in the hope of being able to re-sign Byrd to be their starting center fielder, and Byrd says that he wants to stay with the team. "We'll leave that one open," general manager Jon Daniels said. "We're in the same spot with Marlon. He's getting a sense of what the market is."

Also club officials are looking at other options and investigating the possibility of signing a veteran catcher to go along with Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Taylor Teagarden.
