Pirates agreed to terms with catcher Ryan Doumit on a three-year, $11.5 million contract with a club option for 2012 and '13.
According to the Post-Gazette, Doumit gets a $300,000 signing bonus, $2.05 million in 2009, $3.55 million in 2010 and $5.1 million in 2011.
I never understand why teams like the Pirates structure deals this way. The Pirates aren't spending any money this year, why not give Doumit $5.1 million in 2009, $3.5 million in 2010 and $2 million in 2011?
