Agent Scott Boras told MLB.com (as reported by Eugene McCormick of the Cleveland Leader) that he has had no discussions with the Indians regarding a contract extension for Shin-Soo Choo. It’s starting to sound as if Boras is trying to get Choo out of Cleveland as soon as possible.

“I don’t think I’ll be doing a lot of discussing on those fronts right now,” Boras said.

Choo, 28, is under team control through the 2013 season. He made $461,100 in 2010, but his contract could balloon to around $3 million next season in arbitration. There have been talks about signing Choo to a long-term contract this winter, but being a Boras client it may not happen. Boras rarely gives up arbitration years in exchange for a long-term deal.  He would rather maximize the contract by waiting until the player is a free agent.

It was speculated that Boras and Indians were going back and forth over several multi-year contracts before the season started, but the deal never completed.

“It’s something we remain interested in (a contract extension),” GM Chris Antonetti said.
