Mariners sign minor leaguer to $95 million deal

Largest ever for player with zero MLB experience.

Not sure why other clubs like the Pirates with Skenes don’t do this or players they feel are sure-fire to lock them up long term.

M’s did this with Julio too when he was young.

Wow! That's a lot of $$$ with 0 major game. He got a good agent.

Wonder if he turns out to be a bust? Then they’ve wasted all this money for nothing.

Mariners remind me of the way the Astros used to do business before 2019 (build via a great farm system).
