Bobby Witt Jr. Inks $288.7M contract extension

Witt signed an 11-year, $288.78 million contract extension with the Royals on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: Witt will have the ability to opt out after the seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th years of the deal. The contract also contains a three-year, $89 million club option after the 11th season, potentially bringing the total value up to $377.78 million over the life of the deal, which would run through the 2037 campaign. The 23-year-old shortstop is coming off a breakthrough sophomore season in which he slashed .276/.319/.495 with 30 home runs and 49 stolen bases en route to a seventh-place finish in the American League MVP voting.

Bobby Witt Jr. Closing in on 50-steal season

Witt went 0-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Tigers.

Analysis: Witt's quest for 50 steals this season has him at 49 so far, but he's been caught three times over his last eight games while going hitless in four contests in that span. The shortstop has also struck out seven times in that span after a stretch with just one strikeout in 11 games. In addition to the high-end speed on the basepaths, he's recorded a .273/.315/.487 slash line with 29 home runs, 93 RBI and 94 runs scored over 155 games in his second campaign.
