Jason Kipnis does not want any distractions once Opening Day arrives, according to an MLB.com report. 

During Tribe Fest on Sunday, Kipnis said he is open to long-term contract talks during Spring Training.

"Absolutely," Kipnis said. "We haven't talked about it yet [this offseason]. My guess is, if we were going to, it'd probably start in Spring Training, when everybody comes there. They've got their hands full with other stuff to take care of first. There's arbitration cases on other players. It'll come after -- when the time is right."
