Andre Ethier, who would have been eligible for free agency after the season, has agreed in principle to a five-year, $85 million contract extension with the Dodgers, according to a source. The outfielder's contract now runs through the 2017 season. The deal also includes a $17.5 million club option for 2018 that would automatically vest if Ethier were to reach certain plate appearance thresholds. If he meets those thresholds, Ethier's deal would reach more than $100 million. "I have been instructed that I won't comment ... until tomorrow," Ethier said Monday night. "There will be an announcement tomorrow. We will talk tomorrow, I promise."
