The new contract includes player and team options, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan.

Kinda early for a contract like this, isn’t it?

Depending on how this part is structured I don’t think it’s too early. I’m guessing there’s team and player options and a lot of performance incentives that bridge this gap. People will point to the Tatis deal, but it’s very possible he isn’t a moron like Tatis and he’s that same type of talent.

Alex Anthopelous once again shows how amazing he is. Got Acuna, Ozzie and Michael Harris combined for cheaper than this contract.

Contracts like this are good for baseball, as much as some of you hate them. Does anyone actually enjoy the Scott boras method of refusing extensions, spitting on the team that brought you up and eventually signing with a team in New York or LA?

As one of the few Mariners fans on this board, I support this move.
