Ian Kinsler said he doesn’t have anything new to report on a possible long-term extension with the Rangers, and indicated that there haven’t been many discussions with the club in that regard so far this offseason.

“I would love to stay here. I?ve stated that and made that pretty well known,” Kinsler said. “These things don?t easily come about. It takes a lot of conversation and thinking on both sides.” Kinsler is under contract through the 2013 season and getting him re-signed is not viewed as a priority right now. He is set to make $7 million in 2012 and has a club option for $10 million in 2013.

Ian Kinsler had a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injection in his right ankle a week after the World Series.

Kinsler has been bothered by ankle issues since spring training 2010, but now seems optimistic that the shot will help him resolve it. “I feel 100 percent and it’s the first time I can say that in a long time,” the second baseman told reporters. “It didn?t bug me to the point where it affected how I felt running or moving laterally, I just didn?t feel as powerful. Being able to feel that again is pretty cool. It’s a good feeling.”

Ian Kinsler has held preliminary talks with the Rangers about a long-term contract extension.

“I want to stay here,” Kinsler said. “You never know how long it’s going to take. I think the sooner the better for them, and the sooner the better for me.” Kinsler has one year remaining on his current deal with a $10 million club option for 2013. The 29-year-old is coming off an MVP season that saw him hit 34 homers with a .832 OPS and 89/71 BB/K ratio. He is considered a top priority for the Rangers this offseason, though progress is reportedly in the preliminary stage and unlikely to get done until spring training at the earliest.
