The Los Angeles Dodgers have re-signed one of their top young stud players.
The Dodgers have agreed to a contract with Chad Billingsley. He signed a three-year contract, with a fourth-year option that could be bought out by the Dodgers, making him a free agent again. This contract extension is expected to be worth $35-36 million.
The contract covers the 2012-to-2014 season. It also included an option for 2015. The salary for the option year is still being negotiated at this present time.
This is a good deal for both the Dodgers and Billingsley, as the Dodgers get to keep one of their young players for many years to come. Billingsley is just 26-years-old and has a 3.55 ERA in his first five seasons in the majors and in the past three years, has made 31 or more starts per season.
