John Lackey's deadline of signing a contract extension with the Angels by Opening Day appears to have been extended in the wake of his elbow injury. General manager Tony Reagins is open to negotiating during the season, and Lackey also appears open to further talks. "Opening day is not my opening day anymore," said Lackey. "I'm going to let my agent handle that. I'm just worried about getting healthy now and helping us win. It's not going to be a distraction."
