Matt Brash and Seattle Mariners Ink $15M-Per-Season Extension
The Seattle Mariners have solidified their commitment to young pitching talent by signing right-handed pitcher Matt Brash to a lucrative contract extension worth $15 million annually. The deal, announced on Tuesday, ensures that Brash remains a key part of the Mariners’ rotation through the 2030 season.
Brash, 26, has emerged as one of the most exciting arms in Major League Baseball, known for his devastating slider and ability to generate strikeouts in high-pressure situations. The Mariners, recognizing his potential and growing impact, opted to secure his services long-term as they continue to build a team poised for sustained playoff contention.
“Matt has shown time and again that he’s an integral part of our present and future,” Mariners General Manager Justin Hollander said in a press conference. “This extension reflects our confidence in his ability to help us compete for championships.”
The new deal, which includes a team option for an additional two years, makes Brash one of the highest-paid pitchers of his age group. It’s a testament to his consistent improvement and impressive performances since his MLB debut in 2022.
Brash expressed his gratitude during the announcement. “Seattle has been home for me, and I’m thrilled to continue this journey with the Mariners. I believe in what we’re building here, and I can’t wait to bring a championship to this city.”
The extension not only solidifies the Mariners’ rotation but also sends a message to fans and rivals alike: Seattle is serious about contending. With Brash locked in alongside other young stars, the team is positioning itself as a formidable force in the American League for years to come.
For Mariners fans, the future has never looked brighter.
