Everybody swim in the water, that's the stream runnin' over.

Hello and welcome to episode 1895 of Effect of the Wild, a baseball pod yasper of the

bandwraffs presented by our Patreon supporters, I am Ben Memberd of the Ringer, joined by Meg

Rally of Vanguars. Hello, Nick. Hello. Julio. Julio.

Rud. Regas. Forever Mariner. Forever Mariner. Maybe it certainly seems like, boy, this extension,

I'm still processing the terms here. Oh yeah. We all are. We're gonna have to just read

some tweets, I think Ben. Yeah. Yeah. I think our only option is to read some pass and tweets here.

Right. Yes, Jeff has a whole thread here. We helped him. So let's just read the thread. Should I?

Do you want to go like every other? Should I read all of them? How do you want to do this, Ben? Sure.

Okay. I'll read off. You can trade off every other tweet. Okay. There's a lot to digest.

I'm Julio Rodriguez extension with Seattle per ESPN sources. The deal could be for 813, 16

or 18 years. It guarantees Rodriguez $210 million. If it maxes out, it will be the largest ever

$470 million. The details are important. Here they are. The base of the deal is for 8 years

and 120 million. It includes this season and runs through 2029. After 2028, the Mariners must

decide whether to pick up a club option. The size and length of that depends on Rodriguez's

performance in MVP voting. The option is for eight or 10 years on top of the original deal.

Depending on how Rodriguez fares in MVP voting wins and finishes, it can range anywhere from

200 million to 350 million. If the Mariners pick up the option, Rodriguez's guarantee in the deal

is at least 320 million. Now, if the Mariners don't pick up the option after year 7,

Rodriguez has a player option after year 8 for five years and 90 million, thus the 13 year

structure and $210 million floor. He could turn it down and hit free agency right before his 30th

birthday, too. Here I will editorialize and remind everyone, who are Rodriguez? Just 21.
