Rangers fans definitely have the right to be pissed off though. Sounds like he had his sights set on Philly all along, so saying he'd definitely stay if offered 6 years was kind of a dick move since their final offer was like 6 years, $140 million or something.
He also said that he would definitely have stayed in Texas if they won the WS. Makes me wonder if he was telling the truth there.

I don't know I had read that a "source" said Texas was too hot for him. Obviously some pitchers don't like pitching where it's really, hot. Just like some pitchers don't want to pitch where it's really cold. That sounds like one of the factors he had to consider.
