The lowest level would be for eight years and $200 million on top of the original $120 million, keeping Rodriguez tied to the Mariners through 2037. Signed as an amateur out of the Dominican Republic for $1.75 million in July 2017, Rodriguez was seen by scouts as a prototypical corner outfielder who could hit for power. Following the 2028 season, the Mariners can exercise an option for an additional eight or 10 years, depending on where Rodriguez finishes in MVP voting in the preceding seasons.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez, the leading candidate to win AL rookie of the year, is set to sign a contract that will pay him at least $210 million.

He joined Ronald Acuna Jr., Mike Trout, Andruw Jones and Cesar Cedeno as the only players with at least 20 homers and 20 stolen bases in any 81-game span at the age of 21 or younger. Certainly, the Mariners have seen enough of Rodriguez, 21, to believe he will be a star. He was the lone rookie and youngest player to make the All-Star Game this summer, and became the first Mariners’ player to hit 20 home runs and steal 20 bases since Mike Cameron in 2002. If they decline, Rodriguez can elect free agency or exercise a five-year, $90 million player option after 2029 that will guarantee a total of $210 million. It rises to eight years, $240 million if he has at least two top-10 MVP finishes; eight- years, $260 million if four top-10 finishes; eight-years, $280 million if he wins an MVP and has a top-five finish or three top-five finishes; and 10 years, $350 million if he wins the MVP twice or has four top-five finishes. Seattle Mariners All-Star outfielder Julio Rodriguez is finalizing a contract with Seattle that will guarantee him $210 million over 14 years, according to a baseball official with direct knowledge of the deal.

De llegar a 25-25, algo que parece muy posible, J-Rod sería apenas en tercer novato en conseguirlo, luego de Mike Trout (2012) y Chris Young (2007).

Ahora, si los Marineros no eligen la opción después del séptimo año, Rodríguez tiene una opción de jugador después del año ocho por cinco temporadas y 90 millones. Dependiendo de cómo le vaya a J-Rod en la votación de MVP (ganancias y finales), puede oscilar entre 200 y 350 millones.

Currently, that has added up to Seattle’s being 68-57 through Thursday, which had them in second place in the A.L. and Alex Rodríguez saw both superstars leave in their primes but will now presumably have Julio Rodríguez, whom they originally signed as a 16-year-old international free agent in 2017, for the majority of his career, and most likely the entirety of it.

(Only two other players in the top-20 are younger than 25: Cleveland’s Andrés Giménez and San Diego’s Juan Soto.) In a span of 88 games from May 1 through Thursday, he hit .282 with a .337 on-base percentage and .516 slugging percentage. After a slow start offensively, which dragged his overall numbers down, he has turned into the well-rounded offensive force that the team expected. The details of the contract, which were confirmed by a person familiar with the negotiations who was not authorized to discuss it publicly, are wildly complicated. Overall, he has hit 20 home runs and stolen 23 bases, making him one of only two 20-20 players this season. He even thought he could eventually lead the team to its first World Series title. While he is only 21, his new deal with the Mariners could pay him as much as $470 million.

Rodríguez this season has been a vital part of a Mariners team that is presently on pace for 88 wins and occupying the final wild-card position in the AL.

Fue bastión de los Rojos de Cincinnati campeones en 1991 de la Serie Mundial. Eric Davis fue una versión anterior a Rodríguez y también parecía tenerlo todo para terminar en el Salón de la Fama. También es mejor que sus pares cuando se trata de alcanzar una base extra: la mitad de las veces que está en circulación consigue dos o más almohadillas cuando sigue un sencillo de alguno de sus compañeros, La segunda incluye salarios por 350 millones de dólares adicionales, para así sumar los 470 millones que marcarían un récord en la MLB. Su primer campeonato completo, el de 1986, cerró con 27 jonrones y 80 robos. Nada mal para alguien con menos de 110 encuentros disputados en las Grandes Ligas. Porque él podrá ejercer una cláusula que le protege, con valor de 90 millones de dólares, por cinco campañas más. Este viernes, cuando se jugaba la parte baja del sexto inning, el departamento de prensa de los occidentales confirmó la firma. Y con ella, el equipo busca retener de por vida a su joven sensación de 2022. Y Rodríguez, que ahora tiene 21, habra por entonces soplado las 38 velitas en el pastel. Jesse Sánchez, analista de MLB.com, dio a conocer la existencia de un preacuerdo entre las partes, con una bolsa garantizada de 210 millones de dólares. Si confluyen todas las condiciones, el total subirá a 470 millones de dólares, hasta la temporada de 2039.

Mather’s comments were made to the Bellevue, Washington, Breakfast Rotary Club in February 2021 and included disparaging comments about the English of Rodriguez and former Seattle pitcher Hisashi Iwakuma. Rodríguez reached the final where he lost to Juan Soto, but had a memorable first two rounds where he hit 63 total home runs and beat Corey Seager and Pete Alonso. Rodríguez has become a star in his first season with the Mariners. There also is a player option that guarantees $90 million from 2030-34. Rodríguez is hitting .267 with 20 home runs, 64 RBIs, 23 stolen bases and an OPS of .793.

Trout posted a figure of 168 in 2012, but to be in such company as the names I mentioned is a testament to the talent that Rodríguez is, and by that argument, the Mariners got him for an absolute steal, should he pan out. In 2022, his rookie season, Rodríguez has already become the seventh player to join that club, and his team still has 37 games left to go. Well, in the live-ball era of baseball (since 1920), there have been only six players to have earned a 130 OPS-plus or better as well as 20 stolen bases in their age-21 season or younger. Not only does this deal secure one of the best young talents in baseball for potentially more than a decade, but it also comes with so many clauses and conditions that should Rodríguez prove to be a letdown after his rookie season, the deal won’t snowball into a Bobby Bonilla or Chris Davis situation. What we do know is that the Mariners made a very smart move. As of writing this, Mariners’ outfielder and 2022 All-Star Julio Rodríguez has played in 109 career games.
