Now let me tell ya a little story ’bout a fella named Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Now, he ain’t no ordinary player, no sir! This fella, he got himself a big ol’ contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. And when I say big, I mean big! Signed himself a deal worth $42 million, can ya believe it? That’s a three-year deal he got, and every penny of it’s guaranteed. And to put it simple, he’s earnin’ an average of $14 million a year.
Now, let me break it down a little more for ya. So in 2024, that Gurriel fella, he’s pullin’ in $10 million just for showin’ up in that baseball uniform. Not too shabby, huh? But that ain’t even the end of it! In 2025, he’ll be makin’ $14 million all over again, just like the year after, all the way till the end of his contract. So long as he’s in that Diamondbacks jersey, that money’s his to keep.
Oh, and ya gotta know, this deal wasn’t just somethin’ outta the blue. No sir, they signed him up back in December 2022. Now, he’s been with the Diamondbacks ever since, out there in left field, swingin’ that bat and makin’ plays. And lemme tell ya, when he’s in that lineup, it’s like he’s bringin’ fire to the field. Not long ago, he hit himself a big ol’ homer against the Brewers, just what the Diamondbacks needed to win that game. He sure ain’t lettin’ that money go to waste, that’s for sure!
Now, as for his contract, the Diamondbacks even got an option for 2027. Don’t ask me what that means, but sounds like if things go well, they can keep him even longer if they feel like it. Pretty smart if ya ask me. This boy’s got somethin’ special, like they say down at the ball field, he’s a “real clutch player.”
But let’s talk ’bout his looks, too, since folks always seem to notice that about him. Gurriel, now he got this fancy head o’ hair, curly as a sheep’s coat, but he goes through a whole mess o’ steps to get it lookin’ all shiny and straight for the game. They say he puts all kinds of fancy products on it – don’t that beat all? It’s like he’s gotta look just right before he steps up to the plate.
Oh, and it ain’t just about him lookin’ good. Seems that hair brings him some luck. Ever since he joined up with the Diamondbacks, he’s been playin’ his heart out. Folks out there in Phoenix are happy to have him, that’s what I’m hearin’. And if he keeps this up, looks like that $42 million contract’s gonna pay off for the Diamondbacks, too.
So, to put it plain and simple, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. got himself a three-year, $42 million contract with the Diamondbacks. He’s playin’ hard, bringin’ in the hits, and seemin’ worth every penny so far. And heck, they might even keep him longer if things go their way!
Anyways, I tell ya, I wouldn’t mind havin’ just a piece of that kinda money, but looks like ol’ Gurriel Jr. earned it. And I reckon he’ll be out there in that outfield for a good while yet, makin’ plays and earnin’ every dollar of that big ol’ contract.
