Thinkstock(CINCINNATI) — The Cincinnati Reds and catcher Devin Mesoraco agreed to a four-year contract extension, the club announced late on Monday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Reds selected Mesoraco with the 15th overall pick in the 2007 MLB amateur draft. Last season, the 26-year-old batted .273 with 25 home runs and 80 RBIs in 440 at-bats. He was named to his first All-Star team in 2014.
“This is another example of rewarding a player we drafted and developed,” Cardinals president of baseball operations and general manager Walt Jocketty said in a statement. “We are pleased to be able to sign him for the next four years and expect him to be an integral part of the team.”
Mesoraco was set for arbitration this off-season, but his new contract will keep him in Cincinnati through the 2018 season.
