Robbie Ray cashes in on big-money deal with Mariners

After winning the 2021 American League Cy Young Award, former Brentwood High pitcher Robbie Ray not only has a new MLB home but he's also signing a top-dollar free agent contract to go along with it.

Ray cashed in with the Seattle Mariners on a five-year contract Monday worth $115 million. The deal comes with an opt-out after the third year. This comes just three weeks after Ray reportedly turned down a one-year, $18.4 million deal from Toronto. He played the 2020 season on a one-year, $8 million contract.
