Report: Mariners, OF Rodriguez finalizing 14-year contract extension

The Seattle Mariners and star rookie Julio Rodriguez are finalizing a massive long-term contract extension, according to multiple reports.

ESPN's Jeff Passan and MLB.com's Jesse Sanchez report that Rodriguez will earn $210 million guaranteed over 14 years with the ability to grow to well over $400 million in incentives. The contract includes player and team options.

The structure of Julio Rodriguez's massive extension is very complicated, but the topline details, sources tell ESPN: $210 million guaranteed over 14 years with the ability to grow to well over $400M. Includes player and team options. The great @JesseSanchezMLB was on the deal.

Passan reports that the base of Rodriguez's deal is for eight years and $120 million, which includes this season and runs through 2029. After the 2028 season, the Mariners can choose whether or not to pic up a club option, the size and length of which depends on Rodriguez's performance in MVP voting - both wins and finishes.

The options will be for eight or 10 years on top of the original deal and can range anywhere from $200 - $350 million. If the option is picked up, Rodriguez is guaranteed at least $320 million.

If the Mariners choose not to pick up the option after Year 7, Rodriguez has a player option after Year 8 for five years and $90 million, resulting in the 13-year structure and $210 million floor.

If the M's decline the player and Rodriguez turns down the player option, he would become a free agent right before his 30th birthday.

In his first 108 career games, the 21-year-old is batting .269 with 20 home runs, 64 RBI and 23 stolen bases. He is the sixth Mariners player to reach the 20 home run, 20 stolen base mark after Ruppert Jones (1979), Phil Bradley (1985), Alex
