Rangers Consider Josh Hamilton Extension
MONDAY: A minor update from Sullivan:
The Rangers have expressed an interest to Hamilton's agent Michael Moye and got a positive response in return. No offers have been exchanged on either side.
THURSDAY: MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan says the Rangers may attempt to sign Josh Hamilton to a long-term deal this spring. He notes that the Rangers have a history of doing spring deals with pre-arbitration players, with Ian Kinsler, Hank Blalock, and Michael Young serving as examples.
I wonder if Dustin Pedroia's recent six-year, $40.5MM extension could be a model, as both players have two years of service time. Nick Markakis has three years service time already. But if you look at his third through his eighth seasons, he'll earn about $47MM.
