Weiss unlikely to receive extension before '16

DENVER -- Rockies manager Walt Weiss said he doesn't expect to be offered a contract extension before the 2016 season, but does not see managing in the final year of his contract as a distraction.

"There has been no discussion of an extension … not sure if it'll come up, but I don't have a problem going into my last year without it," Weiss said Friday.

Weiss is on a three-year deal worth $2 million. He replaced Jim Tracy, who resigned after the 2012 season. The club hired Weiss without a contract, as both Weiss and the Rockies wanted to see how the year went.
