It was announced on Friday that the Seattle Mariners and 23-year-old prospect Evan White agreed to terms on a six-year, $24 million contract extension that included three club options. It’s a contract that could indirectly impact all 30 teams, including the San Francisco Giants.
Why is the extension such a big deal?
White, 23, hit .293/.350/.488 with 13 doubles, 18 home runs, 55 RBI and 61 runs scored in 400 plate appearances while spending the bulk of the season at Double-A.
He has three years of experience in the minors since going No.
