Seattle Mariners shortstop Colt Emerson, who has yet to play in the major leagues, has agreed to an eight-year, $95 million extension, sources confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.
According to Spotrac, it’s the largest contract in MLB history for a player with zero service time.
The deal, which was first reported by FanSided, will be completed Tuesday afternoon. Emerson, 20, will remain at Triple-A Tacoma, where he is hitting 5-for-14 with a home run after his first three games.
