Huff re-signs with D-Rays
Inks deal through 2012, mutual option in '13
September 22, 2010

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — With the post-season hoeps of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays all but officially dashed, some players have an eye on the off-season. Aubrey Huff is no longer one of those players.

Huff signed a two-year contract extension this morning that contains a mutual option for the 2013 season. Huff, 33, is earning $5 million this year under the final year of a three-year deal signed before the 2008 season. His new contract will pay him $6.5 million next year and $6.8 million 2012. The option for the 2013 season would pay him $7.5 million.

Huff has hit .261 with 22 home runs and 85 RBI in 118 games this year, spending the bulk of time at first base, though he has made 29 starts at third base.

He hit .336 with 25 home runs and 103 RBI in 150 games last season and is a career .298 hitter with 222 home runs, 846 RBI, and 1,505 hits in 1,333 big league games — all in a Tampa Bay uniform.
