ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) A person familiar with the deal says the Texas Rangers and Adrian Beltre have reached an agreement that adds $36 million and two years for the All-Star third baseman through the 2018 season.

Beltre has already taken a physical, and the person spoke to The Associated Press on Friday night on condition of anonymity because the results of the exam were not yet completed.

Beltre is in the final season of the $96 million, six-year deal he signed with the Rangers as a free agent before the 2011 season. He is making $16 million this year.
