I'm weirdly disappointed by Peter's career. For whatever reason I thought he was going to more then he ended up being.

MLB hot stove: Mariners sign lefty Marco Gonzales to four-year contract extension

The Seattle Mariners have locked up one of their long-term building blocks. Monday afternoon the team announced they have signed left-hander Marco Gonzales to a four-year contract extension with a club option for a fifth year. The contract begins in 2021 and can keep Gonzalez in Seattle through 2025.

The contract is worth $30 million guaranteed and can max out at $45 million, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and MLB Network's Jon Heyman.

"Since joining the Mariners, Marco has been a model of consistency, quietly ranking among the most productive starting pitchers in the AL," general manager Jerry Dipoto said in a statement. "His presence, competitiveness, preparation and leadership make him a key part of our future."

Gonzalez, 27, was already slated to make $1 million in 2020 under the terms of the two-year extension he signed last offseason. As a condition of that extension, Gonzales dropped the service time grievance he filed against the Cardinals, his former team (similar to the recent Kris Bryant grievance).

Seattle acquired Gonzales from St. Louis at the 2017 trade deadline. Gonzales would have been arbitration-eligible for the first time in 2021 and was under team control through 2023. The new deal buys out his arbitration years and potentially two free agent years.
