It was also announced that the team had been able to come to terms on an extension of the contract for shortstop Chad Brown.
Brown, who would have been arbitration eligible at the end of the 1969 season and potentially a Free Agent the following year, agreed to a 3-year extension that will earn him a bit over 98K per season.
He will be only 25 when this contract expires and the team would have loved to have signed him to a few more years but he was hesitant to sign to more than a 1-year extension and it took a bit of work to get him signed to this extra 3-years beyond the 1969 season.
