The Seattle Mariners are agreeing to a major contract extension with catcher Cal Raleigh. Raleigh had a great 2024 season.

Raleigh and the Mariners agreed to a $5.6 million salary in January to avoid arbitration. The extension adds five years and $99.4 million in new money. The Toronto Blue Jays gave Alejandro Kirk five years and $58 million at the same service time level earlier this week. Raleigh's a superior hitter and all-around player, hence the larger guarantee.

Catcher Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to a $105 million, six-year contract, according to a person with knowledge of the deal.
