Breaking Down Potential Extensions For Logan Gilbert And Bryan Woo
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Mariners have built a strong pitching rotation featuring homegrown starters Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Bryan Woo, complemented by Luis Castillo, making them a top-10 unit in MLB and well-suited for T-Mobile Park's pitcher-friendly environment.
- The team explored contract extensions with Gilbert and Woo during the offseason, but talks remain preliminary, with no near agreements reported.
- Logan Gilbert, a durable No. 2 starter with a 3.59 ERA over 840+ innings, could command a four-year extension worth $85-90 million, comparable to recent deals for pitchers like Pablo Lopez and Mitch Keller.
- Bryan Woo, younger and under team control through 2029, might secure a four-year extension around $55 million, similar to Tanner Bibee's contract, balancing performance and service time considerations.
- With approximately $75 million in guaranteed salaries for 2027 and arbitration players to consider, the Mariners have some financial flexibility to potentially extend one or both pitchers to maintain their competitive rotation.
