The Colorado Rockies have locked in shortstop Ezequiel Tovar on a seven-year, $63.5 million contract extension, according to MLB.com's Thomas Harding.
The contract comes with a potential eighth year on a club option that would increase Tovar's earnings to $84 million, per Harding and the New York Post's Jon Heyman.
Tovar became the youngest Opening Day starter in Rockies history at 21 years old last season. The new deal will now keep him in Colorado until age 29, according to Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extrabase.
