Drew Davison has some notes in the S-T that includes quotes from Nolan Ryan, who had this to say on a Josh Hamilton contract extension:

Asked if he'd be OK giving Hamilton a long-term deal, Ryan said: "Oh, I can't go into that. There are so many factors that come into play when you talk about long-term contracts, it doesn't matter who it is.

"At this point in time, everybody just decided that we'll let things settle out before we go anywhere."
