Doumit Gets Three-Year Extension
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com — ESPN's Jerry Crasnick is reporting that the Pirates have reached an agreement on a three-year extension for Ryan Doumit, buying out his arbitration years. Doumit, 27, hit .318/.357/.501 in 465 plate appearances in 2008. His .858 OPS ranks him alongside catchers such as Joe Mauer and Geovany Soto. Not bad company there. The terms of the deal haven't been released yet, but Crasnick says there is a club option for a fourth year as well. The Pirates will announce the deal in a press conference tomorrow. Crasnick also says the Pirates are still working to sign Nate McLouth to an ...

Pirates reach three year deal with Doumit
Raise the Jolly Roger — ... The Bucs locked up catcher Ryan Doumit for his three arbitration years, plus a club option heading into free agency, according to [ESPN.com]. ...

Beyond the Box Score — ... ESPN Doumit is often injured, and as a result this deal is as much about security than anything. In 2008 Doumit was worth about 3 WAR. If we assume he can stay healthy and play near that level over the next three years he projects to be worth 3/30. Odds are, the Pirates are going to be paying him quite a bit less, which makes this a pretty nice coup if he does indeed stay healthy. ...

Doumit Gets Extension
3rd Down & Full Count — The Pirates and Ryan Doumit have agreed on a 3-year contract extension that will take him through his arbitration years. The contract includes a club option that will take Doumit into free agency, the source said. Terms of the agreement weren’t immediately available. The Pirates are expected to announce the deal Monday after ...

Doumit Deal Is Done
Bucs Trade Winds — According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick, the Pirates have come to terms with Ryan Doumit on a contract that will cover his 3 arbitration years with a club option for his first year of free agency.  Financial terms are expected tomorrow when the contract is announced. BTW Take: No surprise at this point.  This will be a 3 year deal probably around $12-$15M plus the club option.  This makes sense for Doumit.  As for the Pirates, this is a gamble with Doumits inability to stay healthy.  Some will point to him never being able to play 140+ games a year as this being a waste.  The problem there, Pirates fans were ...

Ryan Doumit gets an extension
Where Have You Gone, Andy Van Slyke? — As was more or less expected, the Pirates have agreed to an exention with Ryan Doumit that covers his three arbitration years (2009-2011) and gives the team the option for the two years after that (2012-2013). It looks like the option is a two-year option, meaning the Pirates have to take both years at once, instead of having two one-year options appended on to it. No one's sure of the financial terms yet; Jerry Crasnick is reporting the deal could be worth $20 million over four years and $30 million over five, but DK says he's been told that's "not really accurate." Whether that's because the monetary terms are wrong or because the Pirates can't only ...
