Seattle Mariners, Prospect Colt Emerson Agree to Record $95M Contract
The Mariners secured Emerson with an eight-year, $95 million deal featuring a ninth-year option and no-trade clause, marking the biggest pre-MLB debut guarantee in history.
- On Tuesday, the Seattle Mariners agreed to an eight-year, $95 million contract extension with top prospect Colt Emerson, the largest deal in MLB history for a player without service time.
- The Milwaukee Brewers similarly committed to shortstop Cooper Pratt on Monday, reflecting a growing MLB trend of extending young, unproven prospects the Mariners previously pursued with Evan White in 2019.
- A 6-foot, 195-pound shortstop, Emerson posted a.285/.383/.458 slash line with 16 home runs and 78 RBIs across three minor league levels last season, establishing himself as Seattle's top-ranked prospect from the 2023 MLB Draft.
- Currently stationed with Triple-A Tacoma, Emerson is viewed as the organization's future shortstop, expected to eventually replace J.P. Crawford after his contract expires this season.
- Pending an extensive physical, the deal could be made official by Wednesday morning, while the 20-year-old remains in Tacoma hitting 5-for-14 with a home run in his first three games.
