ARLINGTON -- Rougned Odor will be pestering American League foes in a Texas uniform through 2022, and the Rangers couldn't be happier.
The team held a news conference Thursday to announce a six-year, $49.5 million contract extension for Odor, who turned 23 in February and is coming off a 2016 season in which he hit .271 with 33 home runs and 88 RBIs. The deal includes a $2 million signing bonus and a $13.5 million option for 2023, or a $2 million buyout.
But perhaps the most unique terms of the contract? Two horses.
"I'm the last person to ask about that," Rangers general manager and president of baseball operations Jon Daniels joked, when asked what kind of horses the team was purchasing for their infielder.
