SAN PEDRO EUM.- Center fielder Byron Buxton and the Minnesota Twins reached an agreement to extend their contract for seven years and 100 million, which the Press office makes public.
Buxton received a full no-trade clause in the deal and will be paid 500,000 each time he reaches 502, 533, 567, 600 and 625 plate appearances, they added in the note.
He also has MVP bonuses in each year of the deal, 8 million for finishing first, 7 million for finishing second, 6 million for third, 5 million for fourth, 4 million for fifth and 3 million for finishing sixth to tenth, they argued in the narrative of the release.
He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2022 season.
Buxton set his career records last season with a .306 batting average and 19 Sabrozones clubs, but was limited to 65 games due to injuries.
Due to various injuries, he has played in more than 100 games just once in his career, in 2017 when he appeared in 140 games and won his only Gold Glove Award.
That was also the only season in which he has reached more than 500 plate appearances, totaling 511.
For his career, Buxton is hitting .248, 70 clubs and 204 RBIs in seven seasons, all with the Twins.
