Dec 29, 2017 1:18 PM

The Colorado Rockies have agreed upon a three-year, $52 million deal with Wade Davis.

Davis was the best reliever on the free agent market.

The record $17.33 million-a-year commitment from the Rockies includes a fourth-year vesting option that could push the total deal to $66 million. 

Colorado has become a landing spot for top relievers this winter, with Jake McGee and Bryan Shaw signing three-year, $27 million deals and Davis turning the total guarantee outlay by the club on bullpen arms to $106 million.
