Darvish, Padres reach extension, per report

MLB Rumors: Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres have agreed to terms on a contract extension, it is being reported. The deal will reportedly keep him in San Diego through 2028, and he will make $106 million of that term.

Darvish, 36, was already under contract for the 2023 season for $18 million, so this would be five years, $88 million in new money. Darvish will be 42 when the deal ends in 2028 which, you know, seems kind of old.

Darvish, of course, was originally signed by the Texas Rangers when he came over to the United States from the NPB prior to the 2012 season. He was dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline in 2017 for Willie Calhoun, A.J. Alexy and Brendan Davis.…
