Mariners pitcher Cliff Lee doesn't want to be distracted by contract talks during the season. Lee said Saturday that he wasn't aware of an ESPN report that quoted his agent as saying that the left-hander is headed for free agency this winter. "Basically during the season I want to focus on pitching and not worry about that stuff. That's more spring training and offseason type of stuff," Lee said. "During the season I want to worry about pitching and focus on getting opposing hitters out rather than contract status and that stuff."
