Colorado Rockies officially agree to contract with Ty Wigginton

By Allan

The Colorado Rockies have officially agreed to a two-year contract with Ty Wigginton with a club option for 2013, according to a team press release.

FOXSports’ Tracy Ringolsby was the first to report the deal on December 7, 2010. Ringolsby said that the deal is for two-years, $7.5 million with a $500,000 buyout and a 2013 option.

Wigginton, 33, will be a right handed bat coming off the bench for Colorado. Troy Renck of the Denver Post believes that Wigginton could help at first base in case Todd Helton sustains a significant injury. Wigginton hit for .248 with 22 HR and 76 RBI’s last season for the Orioles.
