Napoli is coming off a season in which he hit 18 home runs with 50 RBIs and a .224 batting average for the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox.
The Rangers decided to let Napoli go as he team's first base situation is crowded with Mitch Moreland and Prince Fielder.
The Pirates and Mariners were among several teams interested in Napoli.
