Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers declined to tender a contract offer to catcher Geovany Soto on Friday, making him a free agent. Soto, 29, split time between the Chicago Cubs and the Rangers last season, in which he hit a paltry .198 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI in a combined 99 games. Over eight major league seasons, Soto is a career .248 hitter with 82 home runs and 289 RBI. Additionally, utilityman Brandon Snyder and pitcher Jake Brigham were also not offered contracts for the 2013 season. Wholesale Jerseys .

Cincinnatis Pro Bowl receiver pulled it close and covered it up, a modest finish to a game full of wild plays.LONDON -- Damaged by a year-long racism case involving John Terry, English football will ask Premier League players to don anti-racism T-shirts during the warm-up for this weekends matches. Football Association chairman David Bernstein said on Friday that Terrys decision not to contest a four-match ban for racially abusing an opponent during a league game "hopefully brings to a close a difficult period for the domestic game in England." Other high-profile incidents have brought racism back in the spotlight over the past year, with Liverpool striker Luis Suarez banned for eight games for hurling slurs at Manchester United defender Patrice Evra and more recently Englands Danny Rose claiming racist abuse at the hands of Serbia fans in an under-21 international on Tuesday. Commenting particularly on the Terry case, Bernstein said: "Unfortunately, the reputation of English football has been damaged. It is a shame that one high-profile incident has had such a major impact. "But this single event should not be allowed to overshadow the massive strides taken by players, managers, clubs, leagues and so many across the national game in terms of equality and inclusion. The damage of this affair is not irreparable." Kick It Out, an anti-racism campaign group, on Thursday began a week of action in response to the recent unsavoury incidents, with players across the country wearing T-shirts before matches to promote the organizations message. Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, the managers of United and Arsenal, respectively, were among the coaches who confirmed on Friday that their players will unite behind the Kick It Out campaign this weekend. Wenger, in particular, praised the work done by the English FA to combat racism, widely seen in England as the biggest scourge in the sport. "There are some countries where they dont do (anything)," said the Frenchman, who has been in charge of Arsenal since 1996. "I am long enough in this country to say that they tackle the problem. They dont hide behind it.dddddddddddd "It is not easy, yet they have a consistent behaviour to fight it every year. You could see that with the Suarez and Terry (incidents). They do not let people get away with it." Jason Roberts, a black striker who plays for Premier League team Reading and who has been a vocal anti-racism campaigner, said on Thursday he was refusing to take part in the Kick It Out campaign out of concern the organization hasnt done enough to combat racism. "I have to disagree with Jason Roberts. I think he is making the wrong point," Ferguson said. "Everyone should be united, with all the players in the country wearing the Kick It Out warm-up tops. "I dont know what point he is trying to make. I dont know if he is trying to put himself on a different pedestal from everyone. But he really should be supporting all the rest of the players who are doing it." By accepting his ban for racially abusing Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League match last October, Terry will miss Chelseas match against Tottenham and is therefore unable to show his support for the campaign. Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo refused to confirm on Friday whether Terry will remain club captain, saying: "We do not discuss publicly the disciplinary matters we take against our players. You will have to wait and see." Terry is available for Chelseas Champions League match at Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday, with his suspension only covering domestic games. "John Terry has now been sanctioned and held accountable for his actions," Bernstein said. "I am pleased he has apologized and we must now draw a line under this matter. However, we too will learn from the case." Meanwhile, police in England have arrested a man for posting a racist comment about Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi on Facebook. Northumbria Police say the man has been released on bail until Nov. 28 after being held overnight on suspicion of racial harassment. ' ' '
