Overview

  • Multiple outlets report the agreement reworks his existing deal into a seven-year, $175 million arrangement through 2032, with some noting it is pending a physical.
  • $70 million is deferred — commonly described as $10 million per year — with ESPN reporting payouts of $1 million annually from 2036 to 2045.
  • The revised structure pays $25 million per season from 2026 to 2032 and includes a full no-trade clause, performance bonuses, and player perks.
  • Reported incentives include MVP, All-Star, Gold Glove and Silver Slugger bonuses, plus travel upgrades such as a private-jet round trip and an extra hotel room on the road.
  • Héctor Gómez first reported the deal, which outlets characterize as team-friendly as Cleveland secures its franchise cornerstone while analysts note the roster still needs offensive help.
