www.mlbtraderumors.comThe Mariners apparently inked top prospect Colt Emerson to an 8-year deal worth a total of 95 million with a club option for a ninth year; the deal pays Emerson guaranteed money before a debut before he has appeared in an MLB game; potential escalators may raise value beyond $130 million. Announced on, the contract keeps him within the Mariners' long-term plans while he stays in the minors at first; Emerson was added to Seattle's 40-man roster. That decision marks a record for signing a player before MLB debut, highlighting the Mariners' confidence in his future.
