Buster Olney had the report this morning: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/76...on-sources-say
Third baseman Ryan Zimmerman and the Washington Nationals agreed to a six-year, $100 million extension Sunday, baseball sources told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. Zimmerman also received a full no-trade clause from the Nationals.
The average annual value of Zimmerman's contract is $16.7 million, the most for any third baseman behind the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez ($27.5 million).
Zimmerman's current contract was set to expire after the 2013 season. The extension includes a seventh-year option that could keep Zimmerman in a Nationals uniform through the 2020 season. Zimmerman, who is due to earn $26 million over the next two seasons of his current contract, could potentially earn $150 million if the 2020 option is picked up, the sources said.
