Outfielder Corbin Carroll and the Arizona Diamondbacks are in agreement on an eight-year, $111 million contract extension, sources familiar with the deal confirmed to ESPN, tying one of the top prospects in baseball to the team through his prime seasons.
The deal includes a ninth-year club option that would bring the total to $134 million, sources said. Carroll, 22, debuted last year and lived up to the hype that had built up during his ascent to the big leagues.
In 32 games, he hit .260/.330/.500 with four home runs, 14 RBIs and a pair of stolen bases. Still Rookie of the Year-eligible, Carroll is regarded as the favorite by oddsmakers going into 2023.
He arrived in Arizona after just 162 minor league games, storming through Double-A and Triple-A with an elite five-tool set.
