The Pittsburgh Pirates reached agreement with outfielder Sterling Marte on a six-year contract extension worth $31 million with two club options, CBSSports.com reported Wednesday.
The deal is contingent on Marte passing a team physical.
The 25-year-old left fielder batted .280 with 12 home runs, 10 triples, 35 RBIs and 41 stolen bases in 135 games last year, his first full season in the major leagues.
According to CBSSports.com, the six-year deal extends through the five remaining years on Marte’s contract and at least one free agent year, with club options covering two more years.
The agreement with Marte secures the Pirates’ outfield for the near future. The team also signed center fielder Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata to six-year contracts in the past few years.
