Reached agreement before salary figures exchanged. The contract will pay Hamels $4.35 million this year, $6.65 million in 2010 and $9.5 million in 2011. If Hamels wins the Cy Young Award, his base salary would increase by $500,000 the following season. If he places second or third in the Cy Young voting, the contract would increase by $250,000 in the following season. It is the largest average annual value ever on a multiyear contract for a starting pitcher in his first year of salary arbitration. | |
