Boston just announced Dustin Pedroia’s contract extension as official, so here’s the year-by-year salary details:
Signing bonus: $1 million
2014: $12.5 million
2015: $12.5 million
2016: $13 million
2017: $15 million
2018: $16 million
2019: $15 million
2020: $13 million
2021: $12 million
That adds up to $110 million for eight seasons, although Pedroia was already under contract for $10 million in 2014 and $11 million in 2015 before tearing his old contract up as part of this extension. It’s also an interesting structure, as there aren’t many long-term deals in which the salaries are smaller at the end.
