Johnny Cueto won't discuss a potential contract extension with the Cincinnati Reds once the season begins.

Cueto and the Reds have until Opening Day to work out a deal, agent Bryce Dixon said.

"I told the Reds that at the meeting we had during the Winter Meetings," Dixon said. "Nothing has changed. It's not something that's adversarial. Johnny said to me at the end of the season to 'work something out but if not, I don't want to be the guy messing with contracts in the middle of a season.'

"His rationale is there is plenty of time to get it worked out. If not, no hard feelings."
