Giants signed C Buster Posey to an eight-year, $159 million extension with a $21.4 million club option for 2022.
The deal is being added to his $8 million
contract for this season, so he'll receive a total of $167 million and
will be under team control for at least nine more seasons. The contract,
which also contains a no-trade clause, buys out Posey's three remaining
arbitration years, as well as at least five free agency seasons. The
reigning National League MVP, Posey bounced back from a horrific injury
in 2011 to bat .336/.408/.549 with 24 homers and 103 RBI last season.
