Texas and 2B Ian Kinsler are close to agreeing to terms on a six-year contract extension for the team's star second baseman. He has said that he will cease negotiations during the regular season, which starts today for Texas, so an announcement could be imminent or could stall for the next six months (assuming he's a man of his word and won't negotiate after this morning). Kinsler is due $7 million this season and has a $10 million option for 2013, but reports say that Texas wants to give him an extension before Yankees 2B Robinson Cano inflates the second base market with an extension of his own.
Kinsler batted .255 with 32 homers, 77 runs batted in, 30 stolen bases, and a .355 on-base percentage last season.
