The Rockies agreed to a five-year, $43 million extension with starting pitcher German Marquez on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan.
Marquez's deal will begin in 2019. His deal has a club option that can become a mutual option following two top-three Cy Young finishes, per Passan.
The 24-year-old starter threw 196 innings in his second season in 2018. He finished the year with a 3.77 ERA, striking out 230 batters. Marquez won his first start of the 2019 season on March 29, allowing one run over six innings against the Marlins.
Marquez isn't the first long-term commitment made by Colorado in 2019.
