    The possibility of losing Miguel Montero to free agency and the lack of an alternative that would bring in anyone of comparable ability led the Arizona Diamondbacks to agree to $60 million, five-year contract with the 28-year-old catcher that covers 2013-17.

    Montero will make $10 million the next two years, $12 million in 2015 and $14 million in 2016 and 2017.

    Montero signed the contract on Saturday and, with his 20-month-old son Angel on his lap, said at a news conference that he never wanted to leave the organization that he has been a part of since agreeing to a $13,000 deal 11 years ago.
