Mariners Weigh Long-Term Deals to Lock in Gilbert and Woo

Seattle is weighing long-term extensions for its homegrown arms Logan Gilbert and Bryan Woo after preliminary talks, with Gilbert projected around $85–$90 million over four years and Woo around $55 million over four years. The club has already committed about $75.3 million to 2027 salaries (Castillo, Julio Rodríguez, Naylor, Raleigh), which could leave room to extend at least one starter during Seattle’s contention window. Gilbert’s durability and strong 2025 season contrast with Woo’s high strikeouts and recent injury history, making both extensions plausible but not guaranteed.

Nationals Avoid Arbitration With Cavalli Via Club-Option Deal

The Washington Nationals avoided arbitration with right-hander Cade Cavalli by agreeing to a one-year 2026 contract that includes a club option for 2027. The 2026 salary is about $862.5K, and the club option carries a $4M value with a $7,500 buyout, guaranteeing Cavalli roughly $870K overall. The multi-year setup sidesteps arbitration precedent, and Cavalli comes off a 2025 showing (4.25 ERA over ten starts) that suggests mid-rotation potential behind a group that could include MacKenzie Gore, Josiah Gray, Jake Irvin, and others.

Tucker to Dodgers: four-year, $240M outfield blockbuster

The Dodgers reportedly signed Kyle Tucker to a four-year, $240 million contract (about $60 million per year) with a $64 million signing bonus, $30 million deferred, and opt-outs in 2027 and 2028. Tucker, a four-time All-Star who hit .266/.377/.464 with 22 homers and 73 RBIs in 2025 after being with the Cubs, will join an outfield anchored by Betts, Ohtani and Freeman, addressing a key Dodgers need. The Cubs will receive a compensatory draft pick, and this marks L.A.’s second major offseason move after Edwin Díaz.

Mets' $765M Soto Deal Redefines MLB and New York's Future

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen, viewing his role as a 'civic responsibility,' has signed outfielder Juan Soto to a record-breaking $765 million contract over 15 years, with no deferred payments. This deal, which could exceed $800 million, reflects Cohen's willingness to spend heavily to make the Mets competitive, despite the financial implications, including New York's high taxes and MLB's luxury tax. Soto's contract, notable for its size and structure, underscores Cohen's commitment to building a winning team, even as the Mets continue to face challenges in achieving postseason success.
