Mariners, OF Julio Rodriguez agree to monster contract extension

Julio Rodriguez has had a memorable rookie season with the Seattle Mariners.

The All-Star outfielder competed in (and nearly won) the Home Run Derby in July. "J-Rod" made history earlier this week when he became the fastest player in American League history to join the 20-20 club.

There aren't many young players in baseball with a brighter future than the 21-year-old.

On Friday, the Seattle Mariners agreed to a monstrous contract extension with Rodriguez that could keep the power-speed threat with the club well into his 30s.
