The Royals have officially agreed to a new contract with catcher Salvador
Perez. The deal covers six years for the Beverly Hills Sports Council client,
including the coming season, and does not include any options. It guarantees
three preexisting club options and adds two new seasons at the back end, with
a total guarantee of $52.5MM.
All told, then, Perez will be promised the payouts contemplated in his
original extension in addition to receiving $36MM in new money. Part of that
comes in the form of a $6MM signing bonus, so there’s some added cash coming
to Perez up front. His new 2017 salary will be $3MM, and he’ll earn $7.5MM
and then $10MM in the two seasons to follow before taking home $13MM annually
in the two new years covered by the deal.
A contract restructuring has long been said to be in the works between the
sides. Perez was playing under an early-career deal that allowed the club to
control him through 2019, via club options, for the relatively meager sum of
$16.5MM. The original contract, negotiated by his prior agents, promised him
just $7MM over five years, though of course it was reached before he had even
logged a full season in the majors.

原本Sal Perez在2012簽下的五年約('12~'16,7M/5y)還包含了'17~'19年的3個team option
，在繳出超值的表現後(連三年AS,金手套)，皇家決定與他續約。新約從2017到2021，前三
年的總值從16.5M跳到20.5M，另外還有6M的簽約金，以及'20,'21年各13M。
總結來說，新約等於把option全撿了還延長兩年，總值增加36M。
