"The Rangers' meeting with free-agent righthander Roy Oswalt on Monday produced no sign of ground-breaking developments.

General manager Jon Daniels, who previously said he was "intrigued" by Oswalt, declined to comment. Bob Garber, who represents Oswalt, said the parties "had a very good meeting" but declined further comment.

It was not known if the Rangers made a specific contract proposal. St. Louis has offered a one-year deal that includes a relatively low base salary with incentives."
