ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick confirms no deal is imminent between the Giants and Matt Cain.
Giants GM Brian Sabean declined to characterize the state of negotiations, say only that it's a "fluid situation" and that talks are "ongoing." A source familiar with negotiations told ESPN.com that ''if this were a nine-inning game, the two sides would be in the 'fifth inning.'" If nothing is finalized by Opening Day, discussions are expected to be put off until after the season.
