Catcher Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners are putting the finishing touches on a six-year, $105 million contract extension, MLB.com reported on Tuesday.
Per the report, the deal will begin this season.
Raleigh, 28, led the Mariners in homers (34), RBIs (100) and walks (70) last season to go along with a .220 batting average.
He also won the Gold Glove and Platinum Glove Awards. The latter honor goes to one Gold Glove winner in each league who is selected as the best defender overall, regardless of position.
Raleigh matched Will Smith of the Los Angeles Dodgers for the major league lead by throwing out 32 attempted base-stealers (out of 113 attempts).
Raleigh finished tied with A's backstop Shea Langeliers for the most assists by an AL catcher (51) and was involved in eight double plays, tied with Carson Kelly (Detroit, Texas) and Washington's Keibert Ruiz for the most in the majors among catchers.
Statcast lauded Raleigh's pitch-framing, listing him as the best in the AL in that metric.
Raleigh has batted .218 with 93 homers and 251 RBIs in 464 career games with the Mariners.
Also on Tuesday, the Mariners selected infielder Rowdy Tellez to the major league roster.
The Mariners 40-man roster is now at 39 players.
Signed to a minor league contract on Feb. 21, Tellez batted .298 with three home runs and five RBIs in 16 games this spring.
Tellez, 30, is hitting .234 with 105 homers and 319 RBIs in 664 career games with the Toronto Blue Jays (2018-21), Milwaukee Brewers (2021-23) and Pittsburgh Pirates (2024).
