SEATTLE – All-Star third baseman Kyle Seager and the Seattle Mariners finalized a $100 million, seven-year contract Tuesday.

The Mariners announced the deal Tuesday, a week after the sides first reached agreement. The contract includes a club option for 2022.

“As one of our homegrown players, it is nice to know that he will remain with us for at least seven more seasons,” general manager Jack Zduriencik said in a statement. “Kyle has taken a step forward each season since joining the organization in 2009, and has turned into one of the premier third baseman in the game.”

Seager, 27, is coming off his first All-Star selection and Gold Glove. He hit .268 with a career-high 25 homers and 96 RBIs.

Seager made eight errors in 422 chances at the hot corner, and his .981 fielding percentage was the best among MLB third basemen.
