Oct 23, 2014 8:32 PM

The Royals have signed Salvador Perez to a deal that will keep him under contract for the next five years and perhaps until the 2019 season. The catcher's five-year contract runs through 2016 with club options for each of the following three seasons.

The 21-year-old will receive a guaranteed $750,000 for this year, $1 million for 2013, $1.5 million for 2014, $1.75 million for 2015 and $2 million for 2016.

Oct 31, 2014 6:31 AM

The Nationals and Ryan Zimmerman have agreed to a six-year, $100 million contract extension, according to sources. The third baseman also received a full no-trade clause in the deal. Zimmerman will earn an average of $16.7 million over the course of his contract, second only to the $27.5 million Alex Rodriguez earns in New York among third baseman. His current contract was set to expire after the 2013 season and he had set a deadline of this weekend to complete a deal. Zimmerman, who is due to earn $26 million over the next two seasons of his current contract, could potentially earn $150 million if a seventh-year option for 2020 is picked up, the sources said.
