The Pirates signed Gregory Polanco to a five-year extension. The Pirates have two option years as well:
The deal is believed to guarantee Polanco in the mid-$30 million range, the source said, and should be announced this week. Polanco rejected Pittsburgh’s seven-year, $25 million offer that included three club options before his major league debut in June 2014. In the season and a half since, the 24-year-old right fielder has shown flashes of the brilliance that made him one of baseball’s top prospects before his debut.
If Polanco can keep repeating his 2.3 WAR from 2015, he’ll pay for the contract in two season. At seasonal age 24, he still has time for improvement. The Pirates will get his prime years, and Polanco will be set for life.
