Seager finalizes 7-year, $100m contract

All-Star third baseman Kyle Seager and Seattle finalized a $100 million, seven-year contract on Tuesday, the third nine-figure deal for the suddenly high-spending Mariners.

The Mariners announced the deal a week after the sides first reached agreement. The contract includes a club option for 2022.

"As one of our homegrown players, it is nice to know that he will remain with us for at least seven more seasons," general manager Jack Zduriencik said in a statement. "Kyle has taken a step forward each season since joining the organization in 2009 and has turned into one of the premier third baseman in the game."
