Alvarez and Bucs agree to new contract

Pedro and the PBC have agreed to a four-year, major league contract worth a guaranteed $6,355,000, reports the P-G's Dejan Kovacevic. Supposedly the contract will be signed pending a physical, which could happen as early as this week, and the contract would quash the pending grievance. All hail El Matatan!
