Mariners Star Projected to Earn $200 Million Contract Offer

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert is projected to receive a contract offer around $200 million, according to Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter. Gilbert is entering his final year under contract before hitting unrestricted free agency following the 2027 season. The durable right-hander posted a career 3.60 ERA and 1.06 WHIP over 178 starts for the Mariners since his 2021 debut.

Christopher Moore suggests the Mariners could choose to trade Gilbert rather than hand out a massive contract, noting president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto's history of avoiding major pitcher extensions. Furthermore, Seattle holds strong rotation depth, highlighted by top pitching prospect Kade Anderson.
