Samuel Basallo has agreed to an eight-year, $67 million contract extension with the Baltimore Orioles. (Jeff Passan on X)
Fantasy Impact:
The Orioles' #1 prospect made his big league debut earlier this week and has already signed the largest pre-arbitration contract for a catcher in history. The deal can max out at $88.5 million and will lock in Basallo as a core piece of the Orioles for years to come. He will get a chance to catch every day with Adley Rutschman on the IL, but can also play first base and DH in the long term.
