Will Smith and the Dodgers finalized a 10-year extension
Will Smith grabbed headlines after signing a 10-year, $140 million extension on Wednesday. The 29-year-old will receive his $30 million signing bonus in two equal installments, scheduled for November 2024 and January 2025.
Moreover, like many Dodgers contracts this offseason, the club has deferred $50 million of his contract. Each year, $5 million of his salary will be deferred to be paid between 2034 and 2043, per Mark Feinsand.
After finalizing the contract, Smith addressed the media and was visibly happy with the deal.
“I’ve loved being here since I got drafted in 2016,” Smith said on Wednesday. “I don’t think I would be the player I am without being here. So for me to probably finish my career a Dodger means a lot."
"I couldn’t be happier and more excited moving forward," Smith added. "There’s no better organization that’s more committed to winning a World Series and that’s most important to me when it comes to baseball. I’m looking forward to these next 10 years.”
Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes expressed his excitement and appreciation for the catcher.
“One of the things I think we appreciate most about Will is that he is not a guy that ever wants the spotlight and yet when the lights are the brightest, he really comes to life,” said Gomes.
“As Andrew said, we couldn’t be more excited to have Will and Cara here for a very, very long time," he added."
Meanwhile, Will Smith and the Dodgers secured a 7-1 victory in their home opener against the Cardinals on Thursday.
