Diamondbacks rookie Corbin Carroll agrees to 8-year, $111 million deal after 32 career games

The top prospect has agreed to an eight-year, $111 million contract that could keep the centerpiece of the Diamondbacks' future in Arizona for the majority of his career, according to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert. The deal reportedly contains a ninth-year option worth $23 million, plus salary escalators in the final three years.

The club confirmed the news later Saturday.

The deal's value is reportedly a record for a player with fewer than 100 days of MLB service time and no experience in a non-U.S. league, breaking the mark set by the $72 million contract Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II signed last season.
