MLB Rumors: Robbie Ray and the Seattle Mariners have agreed to terms on a five year, $115 million deal with an opt out after year three, per multiple reports.
Ray, 30, won the 2021 American League Cy Young Award while finishing first in the A.L. in ERA and innings and first in the majors in strikeouts. The lefthanded has long had top flight stuff but has struggled to harness it, and his inconsistency and command issues have had him viewed as a tantalizing but ultimately frustrating arm.
Ray had a 6.62 ERA in 2020 between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Toronto Blue Jays, resulting in him signing a one year deal for $8 million for 2021.
