Posey inks eight-year, $159M extension

[Big Bid'Ness]

From:rotoworld

Giants signed C Buster Posey to an eight-year, $159 million extension with a $21.4 million club option for 2022.

The deal is being added to his $8 million contract for this season, so he'll receive a total of $167 million and will be under team control for at least nine more seasons. The contract, which also contains a no-trade clause, buys out Posey's three remaining arbitration years, as well as at least five free agency seasons. The reigning National League MVP, Posey bounced back from a horrific injury in 2011 to bat .336/.408/.549 with 24 homers and 103 RBI last season.

I never like these big deals for Catchers. hopefully they transition him somewhere else in 2-3 years.

He is already being transitioned to 1st base, the Giants arent stupid enough to be him at catcher. All these big time players locked up to big deals, free agency looks like it wont be the same as it used to be.
