The Rays are set to sign shortstop Wander Franco to a contract extension of greater than 10 years, per multiple reports.
The Tampa Bay Times's Marc Topkin reported Tuesday the Rays are "moving close" to a deal with Franco, with the deal guaranteeing close to $200 million over "more than 10 years." Héctor Gómez of Z101 Digital in the Dominican Republic then reported Franco's deal is worth $223 million over 12 years.
The Rays have not announced a new contract for Franco as of Tuesday afternoon.
Franco, 20, made his MLB debut in 2021 after being widely regarded as the top prospect in baseball.
