(Phoenix) Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract to remain with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The information comes from someone familiar with the subject.
The source spoke anonymously to the AP because the D’Backs have not made a formal announcement.
Arizona has an option for the 2027 season.
Acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in the off-season, the 30-year-old Cuban became an important part of Arizona’s run to the World Series.
An All-Star for the first time this year, Gurriel hit .261 in 145 games with 24 home runs and 82 RBIs.
He also averaged .270 in 17 games during the playoffs, collecting three home runs and 11 RBIs.
Gurriel joined the Blue Jays after leaving Cuba with his older brother, Yuli, in 2016.
He and Gabriel Moreno moved to the D’Backs on December 23, 2022, in the trade involving Daulton Varsho.
Gurriel hit .285 in five years with Toronto, totaling 68 home runs and 254 RBIs.
