Dipoto: Emerson checked all the boxes for Mariners extension<\/a><\/p>\n

Emerson exited the first game of a doubleheader for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. The shortstop is expected to soon join a Mariners core that includes 2025 American League MVP runner-up Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodr\u00edguez and Josh Naylor.<\/p>\n

Emerson, 20, signed an eight-year, $95 million contract extension<\/a> last week that includes a club option for a ninth year and escalators that could push the deal to $130 million. It is the largest contract ever for a player without major league service time, surpassing Jackson Chourio\u2019s $82 million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers.<\/p>\n

The 22nd pick in the 2023 MLB Draft out of John Glenn High School in New Concord, Ohio, Emerson had a breakout year in 2025, when he hit .285 with an .842 OPS, 16 homers, 28 doubles and 78 RBIs across three levels and established himself as a big league-caliber defender.<\/p>\n

Emerson, ranked as the No. 7 overall prospect<\/a> entering this season by MLB Pipeline, hit .269 (7 for 26) with one homer, two doubles and three RBIs in his first seven games for Tacoma.<\/p>\n
