Pitcher C.J. Wilson said Tuesday that the Texas Rangers made him a long-term contract offer a few weeks ago, but that it's too late in the process to get anything done before Opening Day. "They did eventually make an offer," Wilson said during an appearance on the Ben & Skin Show on ESPN 103.3 FM in Dallas. "But it didn't really make any sense for me to bite at the first offer. I was like, 'Well, maybe if you guys would have made that offer in January we would have had time to work it out.' It will take a little longer than two or three days or a week." Wilson has said this spring that he doesn't want any contract talks distracting from his preparation and the team's goals this season. But he added Tuesday that it doesn't mean his agent might not talk with the team at some point. Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine said the club doesn't want to distract from anything, either, but is open to talking with Wilson's agent during the season.
