BALTIMORE (AP) -Right fielder Nick Markakis’ $66 million, six-year contract has been finalized by the Baltimore Orioles.
The agreement covers three years the 25-year-old would have been eligible for arbitration and the first three after he would have been eligible for free agency.
Markakis hit a career-high .306 with 20 homers and 87 RBIs for the Orioles last season, his third in the majors. He played in 157 games, drew 99 walks and led all AL outfielders with 17 assists.
Orioles officials and Markakis planned a Thursday news conference to discuss the deal.
