HBT: Felix gets new deal with Mariners

Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times reports that the Felix Hernandex deal is done. ?Jack Zduriencik has announced it?s complete and?Hernandez is taking his physical while we speak. There will be a press conference tomorrow.

There were concerns about Hernandez?s elbow, but obviously they weren?t big ones. Baker reports that?Zduriencik praised Hernandez?s agents, which suggests that they were flexible about language in the deal to give the team some amount of protection in the event of future injury. But given that this got taken care of in the space of a couple of days, it likely wasn?t a major concession.

Hernandez, then, stands to make $175 million over the next seven years, starting in 2013. He is the highest paid pitcher in baseball both on a per annum basis and on an overall contract basis.
