PHOENIX (Ticker) -- Despite his contribution to a second-half collapse, Curt Schilling today was rewarded by the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have agreed to a three-year contract extension with the hard-throwing righthander.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Schilling made $5.65 million last season with the Philadelphia Phillies and Arizona.

Acquired to help Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson anchor the pitching staff down the stretch, Schilling went a disappointing 5-6 with a 3.69 ERA in 13 starts for the Diamondbacks as Arizona finished third in the NL West at 85-77. The Diamondbacks, who won 100 games and won the West in 1999, have since fired manager Buck Showalter and hired former announcer Bob Brenly.

Schilling, 34, was acquired by Arizona in a trade with Philadelphia on July 26, sending first baseman-outfielder Travis Lee, lefthander Omar Daal, righthander Vicente Padilla and lefthander Nelson Figueroa, a highly touted prospect, to the Phillies.

Although he did toss four complete games with Arizona and eight in all last season, Schilling did not help carry the Diamondbacks down the stretch after campaigning his way out of Philadelphia. After opening the season 35-19, the Diamondbacks went 50-58. Johnson earned his second straight Cy Young.

Schilling fell out of favor in Philadelphia after ripping the team for not trying to remain competitive. He was openly critical of the Phillies, yet narrowed his trade options to certain contenders, limiting the possibilities for general manager Ed Wade to trade him.

Schilling finished the season 11-12 with a 3.81 ERA after missing the first month following shoulder surgery. He also spent time with Baltimore and Houston and has a career mark of 110-95.
