Charleston signs extension with Los Angeles
He was set to become the biggest free agent on next offseason's market. But instead, Oscar Charleston decided he likes where he's at.
"We won two years ago, we'll contend every year and the fans and teammates are great," Charleston said at the announcement of the signing. "There's no reason for me to look elsewhere."
The lifetime .333 hitter ranks in the top 10 in virtually every offensive category in PBL history, and will make a little more than $8 million a year over the next three seasons following this year's $6.285 million haul.
Coming of an off season (.271-13-73, 102 runs, 30 SB), Charleston could waited for a bounce-back season and reaped more on the open market. That he didn't speaks volumes about the Idols organization.
