MLBTR, March 21, 2012: "The Angels didn't bid on Yu Darvish and Moreno said he was never approached by his baseball staff about the Japanese right-hander, guessing it was due to the size of the required posting bid." Darvish makes $9.5 this year, the second on a six year contract with the Texas Rangers.
