Diamondbacks, Geraldo Perdomo agree to $45 million extension

The Arizona Diamondbacks have secured shortstop Geraldo Perdomo with a four-year contract extension worth $45 million, set to begin in 2026. The deal includes a $5 million signing bonus and a club option for an additional year in 2030, potentially raising the total value to $57 million. Perdomo, 25, was an All-Star in 2023 and has been a key player for the team, despite struggling with injuries in 2024. This extension is part of the Diamondbacks' strategy to build around young talent, following their recent signing of ace pitcher Corbin Burnes to a six-year, $210 million deal. The contract buys out Perdomo's arbitration years and positions him as a central figure in the team's future plans. His strong defensive skills and leadership qualities have made him an integral part of the Diamondbacks' roster as they aim for continued competitiveness in the NL West.
