NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said he has not communicated with Josh Hamilton's agent, Mike Moye, at the winter meetings. But Daniels did acknowledge that he could meet with Moye in the near future.

Hamilton will likely not be part of any meeting. He tweeted Tuesday night that he and his wife Katie were leaving the winter meetings.

Daniels claimed he saw various reports the Rangers and Hamilton were close to a multiyear deal. Daniels disputed those reports, stating that outside of texting to talk about getting together at some point, he hasn't had any contact with Moye.
