While Roy Oswalt was scheduled to meet with the Texas Rangers today and may end his long free-agency, the Red Sox have not considered themselves out of the hunt for the 34-year-old righty, but haven't moved any closer to signing him either.

According to those familiar with Oswalt's thinking, he'd prefer St., Louis or Texas to the Northeast. The Red Sox haven't been able to close a deal with him and are said to be well below $10 million for one year which is what he'd prefer to sign for.
