Scott Kingery inks six year deal, makes Opening Day roster
CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Scott Kingery not only made the Opening Day roster, but he guaranteed he will be in a Phillies uniform for a long time.On Monday, the Phillies introduced Kingery in a news conference after the prospect signed a six-year, $24 million contract Sunday that will carry him through
So the Phils locked in his MLB service time and I assume Scotty Jetpacks gets guaranteed (albeit small) salaries for his pre-arb years and then team options on his arb years (which he would otherwise be DFAed or spent in the minors). Deal makes perfect sense for both sides.
