Yesterday, Pittsburgh Pirates starting right fielder Gregory Polanco signed a 5 year contract with two options. Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports notes that Greg’s deal could increase to $58 million of the two options are exercised with escalators bringing the total up to a potential $60 million. In reality the Pirates had Polanco under team control through the end of the 2020 season, as he only has one year and 103 days of service time, so thee extension is really a one year extension with it being a max of a three-year extension. But this deal does two things, one for both Polanco and the Pirates.
