The Colorado Rockies announced on Thursday afternoon that they have agreed to a three-year contract extension with veteran catcher Elias Díaz. Mark Feinsand was the first to break the news, with Nick Groke and later the organization confirming the move. MLB.com’s Thomas Harding reports the deal as being worth $14.5 million. With the extension, the Rockies have bought out Díaz’ final year of arbitration, plus two years of free agency.
