The Pirates and outfielder Andrew McCutchen have discussed a contract extension, but the two sides haven't gotten very far. Pittsburgh is believed to be close to a deal with Neil Walker, but talks with McCutchen have stalled. "There will be situations in the past, present and future when we're not able to find common ground," general manager Neal Huntington said. "Andrew McCutchen certainly is a great young payer in the making and we hope to keep him here many, many years into the future, but if we're not able to find common ground, we still have many years left with Andrew. We still have (contract years) three, four and five to go, so we're a long ways away from having to make any decision."
