The Kansas City Royals have made shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. the highest-paid player in franchise history.

The team announced Monday that Witt agreed to an 11-year contract extension, with three additional team options that could keep him in a Royals uniform through the 2037 season.

A person with direct knowledge of the details confirmed to USA TODAY Sports the initial 11-year pact will be worth just under $288.77 million (approximately $26.25 million AAV), with an additional $89 million possible if all three options are exercised. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because terms of the contract were not released publicly.
