SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – The Padres and starting pitcher Yu Darvish have reportedly agreed on a six-year, $108 million contract extension.
Darvish, 36, remains in San Diego through 2028 under the new deal, MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand and AJ Cassavell reported, citing sources. He was due to become a free agent at the end of the 2023 season.
Padres officials did not confirm the deal.
In 2022, the five-time All-Star went 16-8 with a 3.10 ERA. He recorded the 3,000th strikeout of his professional baseball career (Japan-Major League Baseball combined) in a Sept. 3, 2022, game at Dodger Stadium.
