Former Met Andres Gimenez and the Cleveland Guardians are in agreement on a seven-year, $106.5 million contract extension, according to reports.
The extension includes an eighth-year club option and will keep the infielder in Cleveland through the 2031 season, according to ESPN. The deal buys out three years of arbitration.
Gimenez was rewarded with the deal after being selected to his first All-Star Game and winning a Gold Glove in 2022. The 24-year-old finished sixth in American League MVP voting last season as the Guardians won 92 games and finished first in the AL Central division. He slashed .297/.371/.466 with 17 homers and 69 RBIs. He also stole 20 bases and drew 34 walks.
