It's being reported that the Mariners are in the process of signing Felix Hernandez to a 5 year extension in the neighborhood of 75-80 million dollars. If these reports are true, this is very good news for the M's. Felix, second of the Cy Young voting in the 2009 season, had a tremendous season going 19-5 record with a 2.46 ERA.
Felix is still just 23 years of age, and locking him up for a long-term deal have make the M's brass that much more comfortable knowing that they will have his services for another 5 years. Felix will be 28 when the deal expires, making it possible for him to sign two max contracts in his career, something that few pitchers area able to do.
