New York fans celebrated as word of a signing became reality. Jose Salvador won’t be pulling up stakes anytime soon, as he has signed a 5-year extension at a pay rate of $39,680,000 per annum.

Since he is widely seen as an integral part of the club, New York officials had to keep Salvador from jumping ship.

Salvador is hitting the ball at a .271 clip over his career. In 1382 games he has delivered 1401 hits, 237 home runs with 658 RBIs and scored 784 times.
