Tampa Bay Rays Look To Extend Maddon's Contract

The Tampa Bay Rays are in the process of extending Manager Joe Maddon’s contract, according to the Tampa Bay Times.

Maddon’s current contract expires at the end of 2012, and both sides have expressed interest in extending his relationship with the squad. Maddon spoke about the possible extension in Dallas at the baseball winter meetings saying, "I'm sure it's going to be all worked out in due time."

Although there is no deadline for the decision, most are expecting the issue to be resolved before spring training opens February 19.
