Pirates discuss extension with Capps

According to today's PG, the Pirates are talking to Matt Capps about an extension to lock up his arbitration years. This makes a lot of sense to me because when you think about it, by the time Capps gets to the end of his arbitration years here in Pittsburgh, there's a decent chance he's going to have racked up a bunch of saves and will be rather expensive. Think about this: if Capps averages 25 saves a year in the next three years (assuming he stays healthy this seems not only possible but possibly conservative) he'll have almost 100 career saves going into his final year of arbitration. Signing him to a contract now will not only probably save the Bucs money, but it'll make him more attractive to potential suitors as well.

The same story mentions that the Pirates aren't going to sign Freddy Sanchez to more than a one year deal, which also makes sense. It doesn't say they're trying to trade Freddy, which makes less sense to me, but I'm not the GM so whatever.
