Baseball Digest Daily Blog: Tigers Lock Up Bonderman

The Detroit Tigers announced today the club has agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension (worth a reported $38 million) with righthanded pitcher Jeremy Bonderman. Bonderman’s four-year contract extension will keep him in a Tigers uniform through the 2010 season.

Bonderman finished 14-8 with a 4.08 ERA (214.0IP/97ER) in 34 starts for the Tigers in 2006. He tied for the lead in the American League with 34 starts, while he was second with 202 strikeouts and 8.5 strikeouts per nine innings and ninth with 214.0 innings pitched. Bonderman became the first Tigers pitcher to strike out at least 200 batters in a season since Jack Morris fanned 208 batters in 1987.

“We are thrilled Jeremy Bonderman will remain part of the Tigers organization,” Tigers President, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager David Dombrowski said. “He is developing into one of the top young pitchers in baseball and we expect him to be a big part of our rotation for years to come.”
