The Seattle Mariners have agreed to a two-year deal with Jesse Winker, avoiding arbitration.

The contract runs through the 2023 season. He will then become an unrestricted free agent.

Winker's deal is worth $14.5 million -- $6.25 million this season and $8.25 million in 2023, according to multiple reports.

"I don't want to say I was really thinking about it a lot. But I think no matter what you kind of are, somewhere in your mind," he said. "But it's nice to not have to think about any more. I really enjoy it here and this is this is where I want to be. So I'm excited about that."
