Dodgers, Billingsley agree on extension
Righty's new deal is worth $35 million over three
The Dodgers and right-hander Chad Billingsley have reached a preliminary agreement on a three-year contract extension, with an option on a fourth year, worth approximately $35 million, according to a baseball source.
The deal would lock up Billingsley for two years after he would be eligible for free agency. He is earning $6.275 million this year.
"This is the organization I came up with and the one I'd like to be with," said Billingsley, who had no other comment before the Dodgers faced the Angels on Monday night.
Billingsley, who will turn 27 in July, was the Dodgers' first-round pick in the 2003 First-Year Player Draft, the 24th player chosen. Last season, he posted a 12-11 record with a 3.57 ERA. For his career, he is 59-41 with a 3.55 ERA. He has exceeded 170 strikeouts in each of the past three seasons, with a career high of 201 in 2008.
