The Royals have officially agreed to a new contract with catcher Salvador
Perez. The deal covers six years for the Beverly Hills Sports Council client,
including the coming season, and does not include any options. It guarantees
three preexisting club options and adds two new seasons at the back end, with
a total guarantee of $52.5MM.
All told, then, Perez will be promised the payouts contemplated in his
original extension in addition to receiving $36MM in new money. Part of that
comes in the form of a $6MM signing bonus, so there’s some added cash coming
to Perez up front. His new 2017 salary will be $3MM, and he’ll earn $7.5MM
and then $10MM in the two seasons to follow before taking home $13MM annually
in the two new years covered by the deal.
A contract restructuring has long been said to be in the works between the
sides. Perez was playing under an early-career deal that allowed the club to
control him through 2019, via club options, for the relatively meager sum of
$16.5MM. The original contract, negotiated by his prior agents, promised him
just $7MM over five years, though of course it was reached before he had even
logged a full season in the majors.

原本Sal Perez在2012签下的五年约('12~'16,7M/5y)还包含了'17~'19年的3个team option
，在缴出超值的表现后(连三年AS,金手套)，皇家决定与他续约。新约从2017到2021，前三
年的总值从16.5M跳到20.5M，另外还有6M的签约金，以及'20,'21年各13M。
总结来说，新约等于把option全捡了还延长两年，总值增加36M。
