Tigers lock up rookie Kevin McGonigle with eight-year, $150M deal
Detroit signed rookie Kevin McGonigle to an eight-year, $150 million extension that runs through 2034, with escalators that could raise the deal to $160 million. The 21-year-old will be under team control for the bulk of his prime, and his contract starts in 2027 with salaries rising each year, plus a $14 million signing bonus and a $5 million assignment bonus. Drafted 37th overall in 2023, McGonigle has quickly become a top prospect and already produced a .311/.417 line in 17 games, as a contrast to a recent nine-year, $140 million extension given to Pirates prospect Konnor Griffin.
