The Twins announced that they have signed All-Star closer Glen Perkins to a
new, four-year contract extension that runs through the 2017 season.
Minnesota has now promised Perkins $22.175MM in total, including $14.1375MM
in new money.
Perkins will earn $4.025MM in 2014, $4.65MM in 2015, $6.3MM in 2016 and
$6.5MM in 2017. The contract contains a club option for the 2018 campaign
that is also worth $6.5MM and comes with a $700K buyout. If Perkins is dealt,
the 2018 term becomes a player option. He also receives a three-team no-trade
clause.
By restructuring and extending Perkins' contract, the Twins have added an
additional two years of team control. Perkins' extension overwrites his
previous deal
