Troy Tulowitzki is officially the face of the Rockies. This afternoon the
team announced a six-year extension that will keep the shortstop in Denver
through 2020 and pay him $119MM. Tulowitzki will be guaranteed $157.75MM
between now and 2020, when he will be approaching his 36th birthday.
Tulowitzki is midway through the six-year, $31MM extension he signed before
the 2008 season. He'll earn $38.75MM through 2014 on that deal once the
Rockies exercise his 2014 option for $15MM. He'll also earn $119MM for the
2015-2020 seasons.
Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd and Tulowitzki's representatives at TWC Sports agreed
to a multiyear deal with another Rockie, Jorge de la Rosa.
Tulowitzki won a Gold Glove and a Silver Slugger in 2010, finishing fifth in
MVP voting for the second consecutive season. The 26-year-old also made his
first All-Star team and, even though he missed a month with a left wrist
fracture, finished the season with fantastic numbers. He posted a
.315/.381/.568 line and hit 27 homers in 529 plate appearances.
Tulo's deal will become one of the most lucrative contracts in Rockies
franchise history. Todd Helton ($141.5MM over nine years, 2001) and Mike
Hampton ($121MM over eight years, 2000) also signed nine-figure deals with
the Rockies. Back in March, O'Dowd compared Tulowitzki to Derek Jeter in a
conversation with Tyler Kepner of the New York Times. Interestingly, the
Rockies are locking up Tulo at the same time the Yankees' negotiations with
Jeter have become surprisingly contentious.
ESPN.com's Keith Law first reported that the sides were nearing a deal,
ESPN.com's Buster Olney confirmed that the sides were closing in on a deal
and added detail. Jon Heyman of SI.com, Thomas Harding of MLB.com, Troy Renck
of the Denver Post and Tracy Ringolsby of FOX Sports also reported on the
story via Twitter.
