Report: Pirates, Polanco Agree To 5-Year Extension
PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan) – The Pirates have finally locked up Gregory Polanco.
Two years after reports of an unsuccessful attempt to sign Polanco to an extension shortly before his Major League debut in 2014, the Pirates have reportedly worked out an extension with their talented young right fielder that will keep him under the team's control well into next decade.
Reports indicate that it is a five-year deal worth $35 million that takes effect next season. It also comes with two club options for 2022 and 2023 that could bring the total value of the deal to at least $60 million.
The deal was originally reported by Yahoo's Jeff Passan, and the exact monetary value of the contract was reported by FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal.
