According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Mark Reynolds are working towards a multiyear contract.

Because of his limited Major League service time, Reynolds is not eligible of salary arbitration, so he’s expected to sign a standard one-year deal unless both sides can agree to a longer term contract. He missed qualifying for salary arbitration by a few days.

“It’s kind of a sticky situation,” Reynolds said Friday during an open team workout at Chase Field. “I don’t really want to say much about it, but there are talks. There’s years being thrown back and forth right now. No money yet, but it could be anywhere from a two- to three-year deal with a couple of options is what I hear. I think the week of the 15th, there’s going to be some formal offers made, at least that’s what my agent told me yesterday.”

Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic wrote about the possible contract extension on Friday. Piecoro speculates it will probably be a three-year deal.

Despite having a small amount of Major League experience, Reynolds proves that he has the presence of a veteran bat. The 26 year-old third baseman hit .260 with 44 home runs, 102 RBIs and 24 stolen bases. You can see Reynold’s statistics here.
