Pronk Needs $57 Million

Word from those in the know indicates that Pronk will sign a 4-year, $57 million dollar extension tomorrow. This contract will keep him in Cleveland through 2012.

According to Paul Hoynes, $9 million of that money will be to pick up his option for next year and sweeten his deal for the remainder of this season and next year. The remaining $48 million consists of 2 additional years at $11 million per (2009, 2010) and 2 more at $13 million per (2011, 2012).

With the new contract signed, will Pronk be relaxed enough to begin pummeling opposing pitchers again? We can only hope. Tune in tomorrow and find out.

Let the negotiations with CC Sabathia begin.
