Arizona, Reynolds agree to multi-year deal

Mon 15th, March 2010

Tucson, AZ (Sports Network) - The Arizona Diamondbacks and third baseman Mark Reynolds have come to terms on a three-year contract extension. The deal will reportedly pay him $14.5 million and also includes an $11 million team option for 2013.

If the option is picked up, the deal would cover all three of Reynolds' arbitration-eligible seasons.

According to the Arizona Republic, Reynolds will receive a $1 million signing bonus and earn $500,000 this season, $5 million in 2011 and $7.5 million in 2012. The 2013 option has a $500,000 buyout.

Reynolds, of course, broke his own major league record last season by striking out 204 times, but he also belted 44 home runs, while driving in 102 RBI. In 418 games Reynolds has belted 89 home runs, but has also fanned 559 times.

A 16th round pick of the D-Backs in 2004, Reynolds becomes the second Arizona player locked into a multi-year deal this month, joining outfielder Justin Upton, who inked a six-year, $50 million deal back on March 3.
