The M's have given out now at least 9 contracts bigger than the biggest White Sox contract in team history.
March 31Mar 31 That's a terribly dumb contract for the Mariners imo. Absolutely zero reason to lock that deal up right now from a team perspective and you 100% demotivate the player, that's just human nature.

I'd rather just wait until you have some MLB data on a guy, or at least he's a arguably 1 overall type like Moncada that is destroying AAA pitching and has other elite tools.
