Mark Reynolds Signs Contract With Arizona
While not an ‘extension’ as such - it only covers the years for which Reynolds was already under Arizona control - it gives the team cost-certainty. Reynolds would have been arbitration-eligible after this season, and if he repeats last year’s output (44 homers, 102 RBI) going forward, it would certainly mean a significant increase in his salary. For Reynolds, it’s a nice, guaranteed payday, and a welcome one given that he was only a 16th-round draft pick in 2004. This also suggests that Reynolds’ strikeouts, which led the Majors in both 2008 and 2009, aren’t perceived as being too much of a problem in the big picture.
