Shortstop Troy Tulowitzki has signed a seven-year contract extension with the Colorado Rockies, according to the Denver Posts’ Troy E. Renck.
ESPN’s Buster Olney breaks down the $157.75 million guaranteed contract:
| Year | Money |
| 2011 | $5.5 million (previous contract) |
| 2012 | $8.25 million (previous contract) |
| 2013 | $10 million (previous contract) |
| 2014 | $15 million (option picked up) |
| 2015 | $20 million |
| 2016 | $20 million |
| 2017 | $20 million |
| 2018 | $20 million |
| 2019 | $20 million |
| 2020 | $14 million + $6 million in esc. |
| 2021 | $14 million + $6MM in esc. (team option with $4MM buyout) |
Renck says the deal will be announced on Tuesday at a press conference.
Tulowitzki is currently under contract through 2013. He is already set to make $5.5 million in 2011, $8.25 million in 2012 and $10 million in 2013. MLB.com’s Thomas Harding says the extension will pick up Tulowitzki’s 2014 team option which is valued at $15 million.
ESPN Insider’s Keith Law was the first to report that that the Rockies are nearing a ten-year contract extension with Tulowitzki.
Tulowitzki, 26, hit .315/.381/.568 with 27 HR’s, and 95 RBI’s. On top of that, says Churchill, the former first-round draft pick posted an UZR/150 of 8.1, a well above-average mark for shortstop defense.
