Heyman adds that the contract is for three years plus a player option for 2022. However, that player option could possibly be replaced with an additional four year guarantee. More details on the terms should be known soon, but for now it's a nice signing for the rebuilding Mariners. Kikuchi, 27, posted a 3.08 ERA over 162 2/3 innings for the Seibu Lions last season.
