Troy C. Renck of the Denver Post reports that the Rockies have signed catcher Chris Iannetta to a three-year contract "in excess" of $8 million dollars.
It's a pretty fair deal. The contract carries Iannetta through his arbitration years, while the Rockies hold an option for his first year of free agency. Iannetta, 26, batted .228/.344/.460 with 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 289 at-bats in '09. The new deal shouldn't preclude the Rockies from keeping free agent Yorvit Torrealba, as well.
