ESPNLA: Izturis inks 3-year, $10 million deal

The Angels avoided arbitration with reserve infielder Maicer Izturis, signing him to a three-year contract on Monday.

Izturis’ contract is worth $10 million. The deal provides a $500,000 signing bonus, with salaries of $2.6 million this year, $3.1 million in 2011 and $3.8 million in 2012.

Izturis, 29, is coming off his finest offensive season, in which the native of Venezuela batted .300 with eight home runs and 65 RBIs in 114 games.

He likely will play a variety of positions this summer, but he could also push rookie Brandon Wood for the everyday third base job this spring.

Wow. And I thought Scutaro was a steal. Hard to believe this comes from the same gm who valued Rodney at 2/11.

Player contracts are negotiated, AROM, by at least two parties. Free agent contracts like Rodney's are negotiated between at least 31 parties.

I agree, Izturis seems like good value to me.
