The Seattle Mariners and Evan White have agreed on a six year, $24 million contract, per multiple reports. The deal includes three club options, meaning that White is potentially under team control through 2028.
White, a 23 year old first baseman, was the Mariners’ first round pick in 2017 out of the University of Kentucky, going #17 overall. He slashed .293/.350/.488 in 400 plate appearances for Arkansas in the Texas League in 2019.
White is listed at #73 in the current Baseball America top 100 list, with BA calling him “an elite glove at first base,” and giving him 55 hit and power grades.
