Ian Kinsler Agrees On A New Five-Year Contract With The Rangers

by @ 12:29 am. Filed under 2008 Rangers

The Texas Rangers finally got Ian Kinsler the deal he wanted. On Tuesday, they locked up the promising second baseman to a five-year, $22 million contract extension. The deal also includes a sixth-year club option worth $10 million. If the Rangers decline the option, Kinsler would get a $500,000 buyout. The 25 year old noted that regardless how much money he gets, he’s going to play hard each and every game and his play would be the same. Kinsler, who made $390,708 in 2007, said he is “not really too worried about” the pressures that arrive with a big salary. A year after signing all-star shortstop Michael Young to a five-year extension worth $80-million, the Rangers now have secured the shortstop and second base position for many years to come.
