HOUSTON -- The Texas Rangers and All-Star shortstop Elvis Andrus have agreed to an eight-year extension worth $120 million, a source told ESPN.com senior writer Jerry Crasnick on Monday morning.

Andrus is due to make $4.8 million this year and $6.48 million next year before the new eight-year deal kicks in. According to MLB.com, the extension gives Andrus the option of opting out after four years and includes an unspecified vesting option for a ninth season.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels previously declined to comment to ESPNDallas.com on the talks that led to the agreement, the specifics of which were earlier reported by FoxSports.com.

The Rangers have locked down another key member of their infield with Andrus, second baseman Ian Kinsler and third baseman Adrian Beltre all under the club's control through 2016. Kinsler signed a five-year, $75 million contract extension last April.

What are your thoughts on this?
 
Solid deal for Andrus. He is a star shortstop and will put up good numbers in Texas for years.
