Stewart Gets Two-Year, $7-Million Extension
Pitcher Dave Stewart agreed Wednesday to a two-year, $7 million contract extension with the Oakland Athletics that will give him the highest annual income in baseball history.
Stewart, the most valuable player in the 1989 World Series, will receive a $2 million signing bonus and salaries of $2.5 million in 1991 and 1992. He will make $850,000 in 1990, the final season of a three-year, $2.3 million contract.
Stewart’s annual-value income of $3.5 million tops the $3.25 million that Mark Davis will make in the four-year contract he signed with Kansas City on Dec. 11.
