San Diego Padres Sign Ace To Massive Extension

It's a dream story for the hometown kid. After several days of negotiations, All-Star Joe Musgrove has agreed to a massive 5-year extension with the San Diego Padres.

The deal pays the San Diego kid $100M, and marks another huge notch in the Padres' belt on a Monday that also saw them acquire the best closer in baseball.

Musgrove is 8-4 with an impressive 2.65 ERA this season for the Padres, earning his first All-Star nod. He also owns a stunning 114:27 strikeout to walk ratio.

So while two of his rotation mates, Sean Manaea and Mike Clevinger get set to hit free agency after the season, Musgrove stays put, with a contract that's similar to what other elite starters of his ilk got this past offseason (Robbie Ray with Seattle and Kevin Gausman with Toronto).
