The Rangers were unable to come to terms on a contract extension with Ian Kinsler before Friday's season opener. Kinsler's agent, Jay Franklin, and Texas general manager Jon Daniels had talked about a new deal for the last few weeks, but nothing has been finalized. The Rangers have a policy of not discussing contracts during the season. Kinsler said the two sides were close to a new deal. "Close enough to be disappointed it's not done," Kinsler said. "That's not really something I'm thinking about right now. I'm concentrating on baseball and winning today's game and tomorrow the same thing. It's going to be something if they do continue talking, I'm not involved anymore, and I really don't want to be involved anymore. I'm not thinking about it. If that happens, then I'm no longer involved in it. It becomes a one phone call type of thing, I guess."
