C.J. Wilson, who left the Texas Rangers to sign with the Los Angeles Angels last offseason, says there were communication issues between the players, agents and front office.

"That's one of the reasons why I feel like a lot of the guys have left Texas over the past couple of years because of communication issues with the agents and the players and the general manger. They get very tenuous," Wilson said.

Wilson said the attitude with the front office in Los Angeles is "definitely different" and that there's "a lot more interpersonal relationships with the front office" than there was in Texas.

The Angels decided to move on from Wilson after the 2011 season and pursue Japanese right-hander Yu Darvish instead.

"When you're a free agent and the team that you're with tells you that they don't think you're that good or whatever, it doesn't give you any incentive to sign back," Wilson said. "They've played the whole wait-and-see card. It didn't really work with [Josh] Hamilton and it didn't work with me, either.

"They were hoping I would basically beg to come back, and that wasn't going to happen once I had fantastic contracts offered to me by the Marlins and by Anaheim."
