Twins Lock Up Ace Pablo López With 4-Year, $73.5M Extension

The Minnesota Twins and pitcher Pablo López have agreed to a four-year, $73.5 million contract extension.
The deal will begin next season and keep López under team control through 2025.
López has exceeded expectations since joining the Twins in a trade, leading the majors in strikeouts and FIP.
The extension is a reasonable deal for the Twins and could prove to be a bargain if López continues his strong performance.
López was acquired in a trade for infielder Luis Arráez, who is leading the majors in batting average for his new team, the Miami Marlins.
