The Tampa Bay Rays signed starting pitcher Wade Davis to a four-year extension Thursday.
The contract, which contains three club option years (2015-17), guarantees Davis $12.6 million. If the Rays exercise the three option years, the 25-year-old Davis will make approximately $35.1 million.

"Wade is the type of player and person we want to build around," Rays executive vice president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said in a statement. "His work ethic and makeup are extraordinary and he has demonstrated great poise as one of the top rookies in the American League last season. We are excited by the opportunity to watch him continue to grow as an important part of our starting rotation."
In his rookie season in 2010, Davis was 12-10 with a 4.07 ERA in 29 starts. The right-hander led AL rookies in wins and ERA and finished fourth in Rookie of the Year voting.
Davis will donate a portion on his contract to the Rays Baseball Foundation. Evan Longoria, James Shields, Kelly Shoppach and Ben Zobrist are other current Rays who have donated portions of their deals to the team's foundation.
