Walkers news: Oct. 30 -- Star first baseman Shaw locked up with eight-year deal
The St. Louis River Walkers have locked up star first baseman Nick Shaw to an eight-year contract worth $288,000,000 ($28 million per season).
Shaw, 27, was eligible for arbitration for the final time this off-season.
In 2036, Shaw won the National League batting title with a .374 average while hitting 30 home runs and driving 106 RBIs.
He did play in just 127 games, primarily because of a fractured rib which put him on the injured list for four weeks.
In his career with the Walkers, Shaw is a .324 hitter with 131 career homers and 471 RBIs.
Also, St. Louis has announced the return of utility infielder Chris Duncan.
Duncan, who can play shortstop, second base and third base, got into 62 games during the 2036 season, batting .231 with three homers and 14 RBIs.
In three seasons with St. Louis, Duncan has hit .255 with14 homers and 72 RBIs.
