J.J. Hardy, who came to the Orioles in 2011, is looking for an extension, and said that while he's not trying to make a big deal about it, he had expected for talks to have already begun and is confused why they haven't taken place.

"I don't know. I don't know what to say because no matter what I say it's going to cause some controversy, a story that I really don't want to get involved with right now," Hardy told CSNBaltimore.com. "There's been no talk. There was going to be talk, and then there wasn't. That's kind of the way it's been left."
