(Phoenix) Outfielder Lourdes Gurriel has agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract to remain with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The information comes from a person familiar with the matter.
The source spoke to AP anonymously because the D’Backs have not made a formal announcement.
Arizona has an option for the 2027 season.
Acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays during the off-season, the 30-year-old Cuban has become an important part of Arizona’s run to the World Series.
A first-time All-Star this year, Gurriel hit .261 in 145 games, with 24 homers and 82 RBIs.
He also hit .270 in 17 playoff games, recording 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.
