General manager Jon Daniels has not yet made an offer to Moye. The Rangers are still discussing the possibility internally. Owner Tom Hicks has to be on-board with any offer, and he has not been in camp lately. He has also not met with Daniels at length about the situation.
The Rangers' priority Saturday was a postgame organizational meeting between Daniels, Washington and their staffs to discuss the 25-man roster. The Rangers mainly want to talk about Andruw Jones -- whether they should keep him as a part-time designated hitter or move on without him. Hamilton's contract is on hold for the time being, but it will likely move to the front soon. Hamilton has two years of Major League experience. An extension would likely cover his three arbitration-eligible years and at least one year of free agency. The Rangers have done similar deals in Spring Training with players in the past, including Ian Kinsler's contract last spring.T.R. Sullivan is a reporter for MLB.com.
