8:32am: Jon Heyman of CBS Sports tweets that the contract guarantees Archer $25.5MM. 7:59am: The Rays have agreed to a six-year extension with right-hander Chris Archer that is worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $25MM, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The deal begins with the current season and contains a pair of club options, Rosenthal adds. The Rays had issued a press release earlier this morning to inform the media of an announcement at noon ET, prompting Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times to make an "educated guess" that an Archer extension was on the horizon (Twitter link). Archer is represented by Relativity Baseball. Archer-Chris Archer, 25, broke out with the Rays in 2013 with a strong performance that netted him a third-place finish in the American League Rookie of the Year voting. The North Carolina native posted a 3.22 ERA with 7.1 K/9, 2.7 BB/9 and a 46.8 percent ground-ball rate in 128 2/3 innings for the Rays, cementing himself as a member of the team's rotation. He averaged a blistering 95 mph on his fastball, which could eventually help him reach the his minor league levels of striking out a batter per inning. Perhaps most important for the Rays was Archer's improved command; he had averaged five walks per nine innings in his minor league career. Archer在2013年賽季表現得不錯 The Rays originally acquired Archer from the Cubs along with Hak-Ju Lee, Sam Fuld, Brandon Guyer and Robinson Chirinos in exchange for Matt Garza, Fernando Perez and Zac Rosscup. That was actually the second trade of Archer's career though, as he was first drafted by the Indians and sent to Chicago along with John Gaub and Jeff Stevens to acquire Mark DeRosa back in 2008. Archer是在Garza的交易案中和李學周等人一起從小熊打包過來的 Archer's new deal is the largest ever for a player with less than one year of service time, eclipsing the six-year, $17.5MM extension and the five-year, $14MM extension signed by his own teammates Evan Longoria and Matt Moore, respectively. 這是光芒隊史上對出賽不滿一年的球員出的最大合約,超越龍哥和木耳 Archer was already under team control through the 2020 campaign, but this new contract will give the Rays options that run through the 2021 season, meaning the Rays haven't actually guaranteed any free-agent seasons with the deal. However, they will obtain cost certainty and an optional year of control, making it worthwhile risk for the team. From Archer's standpoint, he acquires financial security for a lifetime, sets a service time record and would hit the open market at age 33 if both options are eventually exercised. Archer會一直待在光芒直到2020,且2021年有球隊的選擇權 For the 2014 season, Archer will join Moore, David Price, Alex Cobb and Jake Odorizzi/Jeremy Hellickson in the rotation (Hellickson is currently on the disabled list). While Price's long-term future with the club is in doubt, the Rays will now control Archer and Moore through at least the 2019 season, with Cobb under control through 2018 via arbitration. Hellickson is controlled through 2017 and Odorizzi through 2020. 新約6年25.5M,加option總值到45.5M/8yrs -- ╭ ◢█◤ ╭══╮ ╭ ◢█ ◣ theanswer3╮ ║ █▌╰═════════════════╯ ★ ╰══╯ █▌ █ ╴◤ / ║ ║ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢█◣ ◢◢◣ ◢ ◢█◣ ◢ ◤ ￣╱＞ ║ ║ █▌ ◢ █▌█ ███ █▌█ █▌█ █◤ █ █◢█ ◥ ◣ ║ ║◢███◤◥█◤ ◥▌◤ ◥██ ◥█◤ █ ◤ ◥◤◥ █▌ █ ╰/ ║ ╰═════════════▅◤═════════════ ◥█ ◤ ═════╯ --
