Cal signs 6 year, 105 Million dollar extension!

SoulfishHawk · Mar 25, 2025

Just announced on 710 ESPN, but they are finalizing a 6 year, 105 million dollar contract. I'm shocked he signed for that. Could have grabbed a lot more on another team, imo.

Sweet. Cal has become eligible for arbitration, so this is a bit of a defense against that. Nice to be able to know his salary for the foreseeable future. Gives the team some stability.

He earned it, for sure.

I really like Cal Raleigh. Happy for him. He and Julio locked up long term. Now do the same with some pitchers.

SoulfishHawk · Mar 25, 2025

No doubt. He's low key the heart of this team, imo. One of the best catchers in baseball signing for that deal? For once, I'll give the front office some credit. Not often, but this is a huge win.

Ya this is a win no matter how bad the organization will screw it up

SoulfishHawk · Mar 25, 2025

But this time they didn't screw it up, they got it done.

Also, this deal includes a full no trade clause. The Big Dumper clearly loves it here. I like players who WANT to play in Seattle.

Hopefully with the Dumper locked in, that helps resign some of these pitchers. Specifically Gilbert.

Yeah, the more they play together, the more likely they are to hang around. And when you consider how the pitchers praise Cal and credit him with how well they're doing, sounds like a real boost to team morale.

Love, love, love this signing. Nice to have players who want to play here. Especially talented ones. And it is not a horrible deal for the team.

Fantastic news! Go see Cal!

In other news Bliss got the 2nd base job

Only slightly surprised. I figured he'd be up by July or so anyway. We're better off with Moore available in the utility role. He can play 7 positions at league average or better performance. Guys like that are gold.

SoulfishHawk · Mar 26, 2025

No doubt. Versatile guys who are a little above average can stick around for a long time. M's have had a few guys like that over the years.

Wsumatt1982 · Mar 26, 2025

I kind of like Bliss. I definitely prefer him over Moore as an everyday starter. I wonder what the over/under is before Cole Young takes his job though. I guess we won't know until we watch Bliss play for a bit.

SoulfishHawk · Mar 26, 2025

Nah. Moore is a MUCH better defender than Bliss. And it's not even close.

yes, but I meant in terms of being able to come off the bench for any position is nice. I should've clarified.

SoulfishHawk · Mar 26, 2025

I was trying to remember the player we used to have here that played 7 positions. Solid player, and pretty similar to Moore. It's gonna' drive me crazy til I remember.

How long ago? Recently was Sam Haggerty would be the closest

Loganpatch · Mar 26, 2025

I wonder how much the firing of Servais and the hiring of Dan Wilson had to do with Cal's decision to sign?

SoulfishHawk · Mar 26, 2025

Before Haggerty

Cal signs 6 year, 105 Million dollar extension!
