[엑스포츠뉴스 김현세 기자] The Seattle Mariners officially announced on the 19th (Korean time) that they have signed a contract with Chris Flexen from Doosan Bears.
Seattle’s contract agreement with Flexen was previously reported by the New York Post and MLB Trade Rumors. It has a down payment of $600,000, an annual salary of 1.4 million in 2021, and an annual salary of 2.75 million in 2022. Known as a major league guarantee contract. When throwing more than 150 innings in 2022 or 300 innings for a total of two years in the contract period, the $8 million annual salary contract is expected to be executed automatically in 2023. It also includes a clause that pays $4 million if Seattle offers to renew the contract even though the terms are not met.
MLB.com said, “Seattle has signed him to include him in the 40-man roster in the major leagues,” and “Seattle wants to envision a six-player rotation, and has a choice with a few young players such as Marco Gonzalez, Kikuchi Yusei, and Justin Dunn who will return. I thought it could be.
General manager Jerry Depot said, “I think Flexen is a great contributor to our pitching team.”
Flexen started 21 games at Doosan this season and recorded an average ERA of 3.01 with 8 wins and 4 losses. He had a foot injury during the season but continued to pitch stable after returning and made a big success in the post season. Doosan tried to renew his contract with Flexen, but he said he had been steadily showing that he wanted to try again in the major leagues. Flexen said, “I am very excited to be part of the Mariners.”
