Rotoworld has it:
Not sure how to feel about this. Roogy is obviously a solid player, but he does have flaws. I feel kinda like this could end up being like the Andrus deal. Universally praised when signed, but now people are really so-so on it.
According to Jon Heyman, the Rangers are discussing a long-term extension with second baseman Rougned Odor.
Heyman says the Texas front office is "believed to have offered something in the range of the $52.5-million, six-year deal Jason Kipnis did as a pre-arb player with the Indians." Odor and Kipnis have the same agent, so this isn't some random comp. It sounds like the goal is to get something hammered out before the end of spring training. Odor, 23, tallied 33 home runs, 88 RBI, 14 stolen bases, and 89 runs scored in 150 games last season for the Rangers. He is currently under control through 2020.
