HBT: Cruz, Rangers reach $16M, 2-year deal

UPDATE II: ?The deal is for $16 million.

UPDATE: Deal done. Terms aren?t yet available.

8:50 AM: The Dallas Morning News reports that?Nelson Cruz is close to signing a two-year deal with the Rangers, which would avoid arbitration. They have a hearing set for Monday in which he is?seeking $7.5 million. Texas has countered with $5.5 million.

Cruz hit?.263/.312/.509 with 29 HR and 87 RBI in 475 at bats. He misses a lot of time ? he has never played in more than 128 games ? but locking him up on a short term deal now probably saves the Rangers a good bit of money over what they?d have to pay in arbitration.
