Los Angeles Angels reliever Scot Shields agreed to a $14.6 million, three-year contract extension on Thursday.
The Angels' setup man had agreed last month to a $3.4 million, one-year contract, so the new deal adds salaries of $4.25 million in 2008, $5 million in 2009 and $5.35 million in 2010.
The 31-year-old righty went 7-7 last season with two saves and a 2.87 ERA in 74 games, the second-highest games total in franchise history behind his 78 in 2005. He pitched 87.2 innings last year, adding to his 284.2 innings over the past three seasons - the most among big league relievers.
Shields will head into this season with 31 career relief wins, just three shy of tying the Angels record held by Dave LaRoche. Overall, he is 35-29 with 14 saves in 293 games, including 14 starts.
