Diamondbacks, Paul Goldschmidt Agree To Extension

Paul Goldschmidt and the Diamondbacks have reached agreement on a contract
extension, according to Jim Bowden of ESPN.com (on Twitter). The SFX client
will get a five-year deal worth $32MM starting in 2014 that includes an
option year, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter links) reports. The team
option for 2019 is worth $14.5MM, tweets Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic.
Goldschmidt wasn't scheduled for arbitration eligibility until after the '14
season and wouldn't have been able to hit free agency until after the 2017
season. The deal buys out Goldschmidt's pre-arbitration years, arbitration
years, and at least one of his free agency years. The long-term deal comes
as something of a surprise since we recently heard that the first baseman
rebuffed Kevin Towers' attempt to start talks.
The 25-year-old has been impressive thus far in his young career, hitting
.286/.359/.490 in 2012 with 20 homers and 18 stolen bases in 21 attempts
across the last two seasons. Goldschmidt's case is a unique one because as
MLBTR's Extension Tracker shows, no first basemen have signed long-term deals
with between one and two years of service time. However, several hitters
have done so, including Goldschmidt's former teammate Chris Young.
This marks the fifth extension issued by Towers and the D'Backs this
offseason. Before this, Arizona worked out deals with Aaron Hill (three
years, $35MM), Martin Prado (four years, $40MM), Cliff Pennington (two years,
$5MM), and J.J. Putz (one year, $7MM).
