If the Rangers go to the World Series and win the whole thing, I would think Ryan could pool up a wad of cash to keep Lee.

I think Lee's decision to stay will be influenced by being close to home (1 hour flight to Arkansas from Arlington).

The Rangers, while improving financially as a club, don't have the vast resources of the Steinbrenner Yankees.

The Yanks have deep pockets, that's for sure. After all, their general manager is named Brian Cashman.
