Adding on Jean Segura: @hgomez27 is reporting that the contract with #Mariners guarantees $70 million over 5 years. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Seahawks_3 first to mention a possible extension.

What a smokin' great deal IMO!

Honestly I thought it would be north of $100M

I thought it was going to be something like 6/105m

 

[dude82]

I'll take 5/$70 million for Segura. The guy's a hitting machine.

It looks like a very reasonable deal for Mariners. I think if 2 of the years weren't arb buy outs then it probably is north of $100M.

That sounds more like it, but hey better for us.

Five year deal for Segura would buy out his final year of arbitration, plus four years of free agency, thru 2022. Plus $17M option for '23.

ooops I was incorrect earlier about how many arb years he had left. my bad.

No biggie. I like the 6th year option for $17M. That might be a bargain.

Great move to lock up talent at a premium position while Cano and Cruz may be starting to crest toward the backside of their careers.

And to think, I was kind of bummed we sat pat last year instead of pulling the trigger on Cozart. Don't get me wrong, Cozart is playing lights out right now, but he's also one year younger than Segura will be at the end of this new contract. We have to go young at this point, and just enjoy the Cano & Cruz of the world on their farewell tour.

Hmm seems like he could've gotten more on the open market. Absolute steal if he stays healthy.

I think Robbie might have whispered in his ear a little, maybe telling him they are a year or two from contending.......

When I saw that they were nearing an extension I would've expected something like $110-120m over 6 years. Hell of a great deal for a shortstop who is leading the AL in batting average.

No fuckin' kidding. Also the trade landed us Mitch Haniger who was playing lights out before the injury.

Segura gets a full no-trade

Exactly! I think a lot of us would be praising JeDi had he made that move in the event that Cozart not only gets us into the playoffs last year, but returns this year in the fashion that he has. That being said, the best trade from all of this was the one we didn't make last year. Goes to show he has an eye for talent cause both would have been a significant upgrade, but the one we did make was full blown highway robbery Adam Jones style.
