Seattle Mariners infielder Colt Emerson has reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $95 million extension; a record-breaking contract for a player who has yet to play in the major leagues.FanSided, which first reported the extension, said the deal includes a ninth-year club option and full no-trade clause, with incentives that could increase the total value to $130 million.
Emerson, 20, currently plays shortstop for the Tacoma Rainiers. He was the No. 7 prospect in baseball and the No. 22 overall pick in the 2023 draft. Last year, he hit .285 in the minor leagues with 16 home runs and 78 RBIs.Reports say the extension sets a new record for a player who has not appeared in a major league game. The previous record was held by Jackson Chourio, who signed an eight-year, $82 million extension with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2023.A contract extension of this kind indicates the Mariners see significant potential in Emerson as a possible franchise cornerstone.Seattle MOPOP exhibit celebrates 50 years of MarinersPreviewing Seattle Mariners' giveaways this upcoming seasonSeattle Mariners unveil T-Mobile Park Value Menu, Value Beers for 2026Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller has setback in oblique injury recoverySeattle Mariners announce new menu items at T-Mobile Park for 2026 seasonTo get the best local news, weather and sports in Seattle for free, sign up for the daily FOX Seattle Newsletter.Download the free FOX LOCAL app for mobile in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store for live Seattle news, top stories, weather updates and more local and national news.
