The Los Angeles Times reports the details of the contract:

“The veteran closer on Wednesday agreed to a two-year, $18-million contract extension with a $10-million club option that could keep Street in Anaheim through 2018. The groundwork for the deal was laid in spring training over spicy yellowtail and shrimp and a bottle of wine at Sushi Roku.

“It wasn’t all baseball — a lot of it was about life and kind of sharing,” Street, 31, said of the dinner. “That really set the framework. I detailed what I wanted in years and average annual value. He detailed where he thought the organization was.

“You get to this stage of your career and you realize how precious winning is,” said Street, who has converted 286 of 332 save opportunities in 11 years. “Then you realize how some organizations are more committed to winning than others. To me, it’s clear how committed this organization is to winning.

“It makes my job that much more meaningful because I’m playing for something bigger than statistics or money. I want that ultimate prize, the World Series. … It’s very difficult to play in August and September when you’re out of it.”
