Mark Reynolds - 3B - Arizona Diamondbacks
Feb. 5, 2010 - 1:45 PM ET
Mark Reynolds confirmed Friday that his agent has begun contract extension negotiations with the Diamondbacks' front office.
According to MLB.com's Steve Gilbert, two- and three-year deals have been discussed in recent weeks. In other words, the Diamondbacks are looking to lock up his years of arbitration-eligibility. Reynolds, 26, batted .260/.349/.543 last season with 44 home runs and 102 RBI in 662 plate appearances. He fell just three days short of qualifying for "Super Two" status and will be paid a salary close to the league minimum in 2010.
