Padres Sign Carlos Quentin: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com
---
Not a good deal in my opinion. Quentin has never been able to stay healthy, the Padres could've put the money to better use.
The Padres have announced the signing of Carlos Quentin to a contract extension through the 2015 season with a mutual option for 2016.
The Padres did not disclose the financial terms of the deal, but Corey Brock of MLB.com tweets Quentin will receive $9.5MM in 2013 and 2014, $8MM in 2015, and, if the 2016 option is picked up, $10MM. In a separate tweet, Brock reports Quentin is guaranteed a $3MM buyout of the option, if he plays over 320 games the next three years. Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.com writes the deal includes a full no-trade clause, a pivotal stipulation for Quentin.
