The Texas Rangers have locked up one of their young stars for the foreseeable future, reportedly signing second baseman Rougned Odor to a six-year, $49.5 million extension.

Odor, 23, put up a splendid 2016 campaign, tallying 33 homers and 70 extra-base hits for the Rangers.

The deal extends him through what would have been Odor’s first two years of free agency.

It really is a win-win for both sides. Texas locks up a valuable youngster while Odor receives a raise through his arbitration seasons.
