Bradley, Rangers OK deal

Outfielder Milton Bradley and the Texas Rangers reached a preliminary agreement Sunday on a one-year contract worth just over $5 million. Bradley, who also had considered re-signing with the San Diego Padres, could play outfield or be a designated hitter with the Rangers. His deal also contains performance bonuses.

Bradley was the second-half offensive catalyst for the Padres, who fell 1 win short of going to their third straight trip to the playoffs.
