Carlos Gonzalez and the Rockies reached agreement on Monday evening on an $80 million, seven-year contract as Colorado continued outlaying big sums of money this offseason to sign some of its core players.
The outfielder must pass a physical for the deal to be finalized, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press, speaking on the condition of anonymity because Colorado has not yet announced the agreement.
"It's not at all finalized. But everything is practically concluded. All that's left are the physical evaluations," Gonzalez told Meridiano Television in Venezuela.
"It's a blessing for me to have this contract at such a young age," he added.
