Kobe signs extension

The Los Angeles Shockers have signed 36 year old shortstop Kobe Jones to a 2 year, 48 million dollar extension covering the 2015-2016 seasons.  Jones had been signed through 2014 at 18 million.


According to Kobe, no negotiations were necessary.  The Shockers, who have a large number of contracts coming off the books after 2014, approached Kobe with the offer.  Kobe kept his composure and simply said "OK".


Kobe is not the only Hall of Fame bound shortstop who would have been headed for free agency.  The countdown is now on for Brett Solo, who is heading into his final season with the New York Cobra.  Brett, 32 years old, is reportedly looking for a 10 year extension.
