Rickie Weeks is open to discussing a new contract with the Brewers, but he won't do so after spring training.
Milwaukee general manager Gord Ash says the team hasn't been formally told of the second baseman's request, but he believes it's a good thing to wrap up talks that started in December.
Weeks hit .269 with 29 home runs and 83 RBIs last season.
