Wieters Open To Extension, Won't Confirm Talks 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Mar 23, 2013 12:59 pm

Matt Wieters has three years to go before he could entertain the possibility of free agency following the 2015 season.


He wouldn't confirm whether or not Baltimore has approached him about a new deal.


"As far as for me, that is what I hire an agent for," Wieters said. "At this point, I am getting ready for the year and if something were to ever develop, I'd pretty much tell Scott (Boras) to present the information. But as far as being ready for the season, that is what I'm trying to do right now."


There may not be any urgency for talks now on either side because Wieters does have a full three years remaining under team control.


"Yeah, especially in baseball," Wieters said. "I am not thinking of going anywhere else right now. I am thinking about getting ready for this year."
