The new contract cancels his previous 2010 contract, so 2013 will be his final arbitration year. Reynolds will make $500,000 this season, $5 million in 2011 and $7.5 million in 2012. He'll receive a $1 million signing bonus as part of the extension. It's not tremendous savings considering what Reynolds was likely to make in arbitration, but the club at least has him locked in for 2011 and 2012 and retains some flexibility, as well. Reynolds, 26, batted .260/.349/.543 with 44 homers, 102 RBI and 24 stolen bases last season.
