Red Sox ace Curt Schilling says he isn't looking for a raise now that he's decided to pitch in 2008 -- he just wants a contract.
If he doesn't have an extension by the end of spring training, Schilling says he won't negotiate during the season and will become a free agent for the first time in his career after the 2007 World Series.
"It will be quick and painless, one way or another, and that's probably the best way to do something like this," Schilling said Wednesday.

The Red Sox reportedly still aren?t close to reaching a deal with Wily Mo Pena on a new contract, which could lead to the first arbitration case to go to a hearing since Theo Epstein took over as general manager after the 2002 season. The outfielder, who was paid $1.25 million last year, is seeking a raise to $2.2 million. The club is offering $1.725 million.
A potential hearing has been scheduled for Feb. 16.

Daisuke Matsuzaka will meet with the media on Wednesday for only the second time since joining the Red Sox.
Matsuzaka, who signed a six-year, $52 million contract after the Sox procured his negotiating rights from Japan?s Seibu Lions for $51.1 million, has been working out in Southern California since Jan. 11. The MVP of last winter?s inaugural World Baseball Classic has agreed to let cameras shoot him working out in Mission Viejo, Calif., this afternoon before meeting with reporters at agent Scott Boras? office in Newport Beach.
Matsuzaka is expected to report to Fort Myers for the start of spring training on or around Feb. 14. Pitchers and catchers must be in town by Feb. 16. The first workout is scheduled for Feb. 18.
