COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Talks between the Columbus Blue Jackets and leading scorer Ryan Johansen are clearly at a contentious impasse. Johansens agent, Kurt Overhardt, said the young star left Columbus on Wednesday afternoon -- a day before the start of training camp. "(Our) talks (were) indicating that they werent going to allow the player be present at the facility," Overhardt told The Associated Press. "We just thought it was a good opportunity that he leave town and not be a distraction to his teammates." John Davidson, the teams director of hockey operations, and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen separately said "enough is enough" after what they contended were offers of $6 million for two years, $32 million for six and $46 million over eight years were refused by the restricted free agent centre. Overhardt declined to confirm those numbers, saying he never discloses contract details. But the Blue Jackets front office, clearly angry, didnt hold back. "Contracts have been extended on our behalf that are close to $50 million. I think that our group has been very fair. In fact, more than fair. And its nowhere near what they want," Davidson said, his voice rising. "Were trying to do the right thing for our organization. Were trying to be very fair to a good young man in Ryan Johansen whos got a bright future here. Were trying to do the right thing. And all were getting is no, no, no, no." The Blue Jackets have the option to match any offer presented by another NHL team since Johansen became a restricted free agent July 1. He hasnt received any so far. It is uncertain what the next step might be for the 22-year-old centre, who had a breakthrough season with 33 goals and 30 assists last year. "It has not gotten contentious on our side at all," Overhardt said. "Were professionals. Theres been no personal attacks or innuendo on our side and there wont be. Its unfortunate that people approach this differently." Now the club is proceeding as if Johansen will not be available for the first preseason game Sunday -- and possibly beyond. "For the first 10 minutes of this, it was all about Ryan Johansen," coach Todd Richards said of the teams media day. "Thats not the story. Thats a story. THE story is this group and this organization, the talented players and the young players and what the team accomplished last year." Still, Johansens absence -- Davidson said he thought the player was still in Columbus when he had already left -- was the main topic of discussion. "We were talking about (a contract) just under John Tavares, who is largely viewed as a franchise player and (a member of) Team Canada," Kekalainen said. "And Jamie Benn, the captain of the Dallas Stars, also a Team Canada player. I often try not to get into comparisons to other players, but because of the way contract negotiations go, you have to." Johansen was paid in the $800,000-$900,000 range each of the past three seasons under his entry-level contract. He was featured on the cover of the teams post-season media guide, his stick raised in celebration and a big smile on his face. Johansen was at times an enigma in his first two years with the Blue Jackets organization, scoring just 14 goals in his first 107 games. But last season with a breakthrough for him and the team. The Blue Jackets took the Pittsburgh Penguins to six games -- posting their first two playoff wins in franchise history -- before they were eliminated in the first round last spring. Should Johansen not return, the club believes it is well stocked with young talent in forwards Josh Anderson, Oliver Bjorkstrand, Marko Dano, Simon Hjalmarsson and Alexander Wennberg. "The question this year is whos going to be that young guy, who are going to be the two or three young guys, who are going to step up and have great years for us," Richards said.

He had to stop at third base with a triple. Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre told Flowers it was too bad he didnt get credit for a home run. "I was like, Im not too worried about it," the catcher said. "Ill probably hit another homer. I dont know if Ill get another triple." Indeed. Flowers homered in his next at-bat, drove in three runs and combined with rookie slugger Jose Abreu, who had two hits and two RBIs, to lead the White Sox to a rain-shortened 5-3 victory over the Rangers. The game was called in the bottom of the seventh inning following a 57-minute delay. Flowers went 3 for 3 to raise his batting average to .252 after it dropped to .213 last month. He scored two runs as the White Sox snapped a two-game losing streak. "Tyler had a great night," Chicago manager Robin Ventura said. "The way hes been swinging the bat and doing things, you feel pretty confident when he goes up there." Abreu, who has 86 RBIs, went 2 for 3 on a day when he named the American Leagues player and rookie of the month for July. Rougned Odor had a two-run homer for Texas, which has lost four straight. Hector Noesi (6-8) bounced back from a rough outing at Detroit in his last start -- six runs in six innings -- to allow one earned run and four hits in seven innings. He was credited with a complete game because the game was called. Texas starter Nick Martinez (1-8) allowed five runs and eight hits in five-plus innings. The rookie has lost his last seven decisions. The White Sox, who trailed 3-0 early, pulled within a run on a two-run single by Abreu in the third inning and tied it in the fifth on a leadoff homer by Flowers. In the sixth, with the rain starting to fall, Dayan Viciedo led off with a single and Conor Gillaspie followed with a double too knock out Martinez.ddddddddddddWith the infield playing in, right-hander Nate Adcock came on to strike out Gordon Beckham and Alejandro De Aza, but Flowers came through with a two-out single to drive in both runs for a 5-3 Chicago lead. "We were close to getting out of that inning," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "We just didnt execute our last pitch and Flowers, who was the star of the game tonight, took advantage of it." The score was 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh when the rain intensified and the game was delayed for the second time. There was a 22-minute delay at the start even though it wasnt raining because of showers in the vicinity. AWARD WINNING Abreu, who batted .374 with six home runs and 19 RBIs in July, is the first rookie to win the player of the month award twice and fourth to be named rookie of the month three times. The Cuban slugger, who entered the game leading the majors in homers and RBIs, was asked if he is surprised by his sudden success. "I dont really like to talk about myself, but I am surprised," he said through a translator. "I wasnt expecting to have all this success, definitely not all these awards." TRAINERS ROOM Rangers: Catcher Geovany Soto (strained groin) is expected to be activated for the series with the Houston Astros starting on Friday. White Sox: De Aza left the game after the sixth inning with a bruised left knee after fouling a pitch off his leg. Right-hander Zach Putnam (shoulder inflammation) is expected to be activated from the 15-day disabled when hes eligible to come off on Friday. Putnam has a 3-2 record with three saves and a 2.35 ERA and is one of the few bright spots in the bullpen this season. "Hes throwing tomorrow, so he should be available when his times up," Ventura said.
