Mariners Sign Colt Emerson to Record Eight-Year Deal

The Seattle Mariners reportedly locked up top shortstop prospect Colt Emerson with an eight-year, $95 million guaranteed contract that includes a club option for a ninth season and a no-trade clause; incentives could push the total past $130 million. Emerson, 20, has not yet played in the majors but dominated the minors, prompting Seattle to secure his future even as he remains at Triple-A pending a physical. The deal removes service-time concerns and solidifies Emerson as a core piece through 2034, though the team plans to develop him further in the minors before a likely big-league debut, all amid an infield mix that could eventually include him at short, second, or third base depending on injuries and roster needs.

Trocheck Trade Buzz: Rangers Forward Eyes Eastern Clubs Amid No-Trade List

As the NHL trade deadline looms, New York Rangers forward Vincent Trocheck is expected to be traded, but he has a clear preference to stay in the Eastern Conference, citing a 12-team no-trade list that includes only Western teams. That narrows likely destinations largely to Eastern foes such as the Carolina Hurricanes or Detroit Red Wings, with potential fits in the West limited by his clause. Trocheck remains a durable two-way forward ($5.63M cap hit through 2028-29) with strong playoff value, having accumulated 85 goals and 238 points in 291 Ranger games.

The New York Yankees re-signed Cody Bellinger to a five-year, $162.5 million contract with a $20 million signing bonus, full no-trade protection, and opt-outs after the second and third seasons. The deal pays $32.5 million in each of the first two years, has no deferrals, and opt-outs could be pushed a year if the 2027 season is wiped out by a lockout. The Yankees currently have a 40-man vacancy as they finalize terms, and the signing ends a lengthy negotiation that kept a key bat in New York after a productive previous season.
