The Seattle Mariners have agreed to an eight-year, $95 million contract extension with top infield prospect Colt Emerson, marking the largest deal ever for a player with zero MLB service time. The pact, announced Tuesday, includes a club option for a ninth year and could exceed $130 million with escalators. It follows the Milwaukee Brewers' similar eight-year, $50.75 million extension with shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt on Monday.
The Kansas City Royals released pitcher Asa Lacy on Monday, ending the 26-year-old's six-year stint in the organization. Lacy, selected fourth overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, struggled with injuries that limited him to 80 innings in affiliated baseball. Royals director of player development Mitch Maier said the move aims to benefit both Lacy and the team.
