  • Rangers Sign Rougned Odor To 6 Year $49.5 Million Extension

    Texas Rangers, Rougned Odor agree to extension

    The Texas Rangers have reached an agreement with Rougned Odor on a six-year extension worth $49.5 million, sources confirmed to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick on Saturday.

    The deal with the two-time defending AL West champions also includes an option for a seventh year, according to FanRag Sports Network, which first reported the deal.

    The 23-year-old Odor, who played for Venezuela during the World Baseball Classic, had a huge season with the Rangers in 2016, hitting .271 with 33 home runs, 88 RBIs, 89 runs and a .798 OPS. He also had 14 stolen bases.

    Odor made headlines last season after his brawl with Toronto's Jose Bautista, which resulted in an eight-game suspension.

    Bautista slid at Odor's legs in the midst of a double play during a game on May 16. Players from both teams rushed the field, and Odor shoved Bautista and then landed a punch to his face. Bautista had reached base after being hit by a pitch.

    Since being called up by the Rangers in 2014, Odor has hit 58 home runs with 197 RBIs and 182 runs.
