Eduardo Najera says that is leaning toward not opting out of his contract next summer.

"It makes sense (to not)," he said. "It's a lot of money to just walk out of."

Najera, making $4.57 million this season, can terminate the final year of his six-year, $24 million deal ($4.95 million) and become a free agent.

"It depends how we do here," said Najera, who will study the matter after the season. "How we finish here with the playoffs and what kind role I'm going to have."
