Report: Twins Sign Byron Buxton to 7-Year, $100 Million Extension

The Twins signed center fielder Byron Buxton to a seven-year, $100 million extension on Sunday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan, in a reportedly incentive-laden deal that could end up far more expensive than the sticker price.

Buxton, 27, reportedly received a no-trade clause and will have the opportunity to earn MVP bonuses in each year of his contract, as well as bonuses that pay him "$500,000 every time he reaches 502, 533, 567, 600 and 625 plate appearances," per Passan.

Minnesota's outfielder posted a career-best 1.005 OPS last season, adding 19 home runs and nine steals in 61 games.
