The Rays and ace LHP Scott Kazmir have agreed on a four-year contract extension, which will guarantee the lefty $28.5 million and has a maxium value of approximately $39.5 million.
Per St. Pete Times.
The 2012 season is a team option, so essentially the Rays have bought out an extra two seasons at roughly 7 mil per year. Very, VERY good deal, barring Kazmir's arm falling off. Knock on wood. God why'd I say that...so stupid.
