The Boston Red Sox have not spoken to Koji Uehara about a contract past the 2014 season.

"So far, there have been no talks," Uehara said through translator C.J. Matsumoto. "I'll leave it all up to my agent, but right now I haven't heard anything."

Uehara is 39, but there is some thought that the Red Sox may consider offering the pitcher a qualifying offer in the coming offseason (estimated to be around $15 million for one year).

Since becoming the Red Sox closer on June 26, 2013, Uehara has saved 40 of 44 regular-season games, striking out 118 and walking just eight. His ERA over that span is 1.00 with a batting average against of .139.
