Sheets

Ben Sheets tore up his contract today...and this was GOOD news.

"Sheets, 26, had signed a $6 million deal for 2005 in February, but left open the option of tearing it up and negotiating a new four-year deal or merely adding a three-year extension. The two sides agreed to tear up the old deal and sign a new extension through 2008."

Milwaukee announced it late this afternoon at Miller Park, a 4-year, 38.5 million dollar deal. The Brewers now have their 26-year old ace signed through 2008 with easily the largest deal in team history. [JS] [Brewers] [CBS]
