Financial terms were not released by the club but MLB.com reported it's a $2 million deal.

Schunk, 27, made his major league debut last June and batted .234 with two home runs, seven RBIs and 14 runs in 39 games last season. Schunk appeared in 16 games at second base, 13 at third base and another four at shortstop.
