The Kansas City Royals have given six-time All-Star catcher Salvador Pérez the richest contract in club history, a four-year, $82 million deal that begins in 2022.
The contract includes a club option worth an additional $13.5 million and has a $2 million buyout for 2026.
Kansas City announced Sunday it had extended Pérez’s time with the team.
The deal surpasses the four-year, $72 million contract the Royals gave to outfielder Alex Gordon in 2016. That deal wound up being a disappointment and Gordon retired after last season.
