[June 08, 2017]    June 7 (The Sports Xchange) - The Seattle Mariners signed shortstop Jean Segura to a five-year contract extension.

 

Terms of the agreement covering the 2018-2022 seasons were not disclosed but the deal reportedly is worth $70 million, and includes a no-trade clause and a $17 million club option for 2023.

In his first season with the Mariners, the 27-year-old Segura is hitting .341 with four home runs, 20 RBIs, a .391 on-base percentage and a .852 OPS in 43 games.

Segura was placed on the 10-day disabled list on Friday after he sustained a high right ankle sprain.
