Erick Aybar reported to Spring Training without a contract extension, but he still very much wants to remain with the Angels. The two sides negotiated throughout the offseason, but weren't able to agree to terms and instead avoided arbitration with a $5.075 million contract for 2012. Aybar is willing to discuss a contract during the season with free agency looming. "I think it would be important for me to be here my whole career, because I came here from the Dominican and they've always supported me," Aybar said in Spanish. "But let's see what happens. ... If they give me the opportunity to stay here, I'll accept that opportunity. I want to win. I want to win a ring, and this year we're in position to do that."
