FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Red Sox met with Josh Hamilton before the outfielder left the Winter Meetings in Nashville, Tennessee. Meanwhile, the Rangers met with Hamilton's agent Tuesday. As far as the Red Sox go, they're not going to pursue Hamilton or another outfielder unless Jacoby Ellsbury is traded, and even in that instance, Hamilton might be an unlikely proposition. The Rangers are still looking like the team to beat at the moment.
