THE ERA OF PHILADELPHIA OPTIMISM BEGINS TODAY? Chase Utley today agreed to a seven year, $85 million contract extension with the Phillies, keeping him in red-and-white pinstripes through 2013.
Utley, age 28, was arbitration eligible this year, and FA-eligible in 2009. Compared to $136M/8 years for Alfonso Soriano (31 y.o.), it feels like a bargain. (Oh, and Utley got married yesterday.)
