Quote:
Rockies signed OF Charlie Blackmon to a six-year, $108 million contract extension with player options for 2022 and 2023.
The new deal keeps Blackmon's $14 million arbitration-negotiated salary intact for the 2018 season (via a $12 million salary and $2 million signing bonus) and will pay him $21 million per year from 2019-2021. Blackmon will then have a $20 million player option for 2022 and a $10 million player option for 2023, subject to various bonuses and escalators. $108 million is a big guarantee for a guy who turns 32 years old in July, but Blackmon has put up monstrous numbers at Coors Field over the last three-plus seasons and the Rockies have now ensured that he won't walk as a free agent this winter.
