Looking to make it back to a 3rd consecutive World Series the Texas Rangers wasted no time in re-assembling their roster for 2012. Texas signed free agent closer Joe Nathan to a 2-year deal worth about $15 million.
Current closer Neptali Feliz has made overtures that he wanted to become a starter. He will get his wish in 2012. The Rangers assume that a bidding war will ensue for CJ Wilson & he will not re-sign with the team. Feliz gets Wilson's spot in the rotation & Nathan takes over Feliz' spot as closer. Nicely done, Texas.
With Nathan off the market that leaves the Red Sox with the possibility of moving Daniel Bard into the closer role or bringing in a Heath Bell type. It seems like the Sox are slow out of the gate this off season, probably due to their on-going managerial search.

Sox are missing the boat with managers, players and fans. Look for more of the same from a Lucchino dominated ownership. Henry is more interested in his new "toy" in Liverpool.
