Josh is a great player, but I'm about ready to say just let him walk when the season is over. They should have went after Fielder instead. He is so self-absorbed it's stupid. He throws around threats trying to get the Rangers to cave into signing him for more money than the Rangers think he is worth. (and huge risk!)
He threatens that if you don't sign me now, I won't sign during the year. Then he gets caught drinking again and agrees to shelf the talks (no, the Rangers shelved the talks, not you)
Now he says, on btw the Rangers can sign me during the year after he previously said, that wouldn't happen. (what were you kidding before or figured out you're behind an eight ball right now)
I hope to hell the Rangers wait until the off season and after they do, they do not offer him ignorant money that he thinks he is worth. He isn't a $20M/yr player and I damn sure wouldn't sign him to an extended contract. Maybe four years max and not at max money. Otherwise he can walk.
btw, I'm also sick of him trying to use the media to pressure the Rangers into signing him. Shut the **** up and handle your business and be a ****ing professional.
======================================
While he says his loyalty is to the Texas Rangers, outfielder Josh Hamilton made it clear Monday that it would be in the team's best interests financially to re-sign him sooner rather than later.
"Free agency is free agency," Hamilton told ESPN analyst Jim Bowden on his "Inside Pitch" radio show on Sirius XM satellite radio. "If they sign me now, it'd probably cost less. If they sign me there (free agency), it'd cost more. So we'll see.
"Obviously, I told the Rangers that they get first shot, and I mean that. I have loyalty to the Rangers. They've been good to me and my family, and it's been a good relationship."
