Mariners reportedly agree with Cal Raleigh on new $105 million contract

  • On Tuesday, Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners agreed to a six-year, $105 million contract extension that will keep Raleigh in Seattle through the 2030 season.
  • As a franchise catcher and leader in the clubhouse, the reigning Platinum Glove winner's extension, which starts this season and buys out three years of free agency, reflects his development into a foundational player since being drafted in 2018.
  • Raleigh, who is 28 years old, has consistently been among the team's best offensive players since 2022, leading MLB catchers in home runs for the past three years and providing a memorable walk-off home run in 2022 that broke Seattle's 20-year postseason drought.
  • Last season, Raleigh posted a.220/.312/.436 slash line with 34 home runs, 100 RBIs, and led MLB in games caught and catcher caught stealing for the second straight season, throwing out 26 runners.
  • With the Mariners entering the 2025 season aiming to win their first AL West title since 2001, the financial commitment to Raleigh, joining Julio Rodriguez, Andres Munoz, and Luis Castillo with long-term contracts, might lead to cutting spending elsewhere, potentially involving a trade of J.P. Crawford if prospect Colt Emerson excels.
