Which according to the article the Rangers are in the process of signing one of Fast, Lindberg, or Puempel to an extension, but their agents have taken a hardline stance realizing the Rangers need them to satisfy the expansion requirements. Given the stiff penalties for not meeting the requirements and potentially letting Hayes go for free, they will likely cave to one of those guys.
According to the article they are going to let Pirri go unqualified.
