Arizona Diamondbacks rookie outfielder Corbin Carroll has but to play a full season within the majors, however the workforce is already hoping to lock him up for the foreseeable future.
In response to Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic, “the Diamondbacks have engaged Carroll in conversations a couple of long-term contract.” Nonetheless, Piecoro added that “particulars in regards to the negotiations aren’t recognized and a deal doesn’t seem imminent.”
MLB.com ranks Carroll because the No. 2 total prospect in baseball. He appeared in 32 video games final season after making his debut in August, and he slashed .260/.330/.500 with 4 house runs, 9 doubles and two triples. The 22-year-old is about to open 2023 as Arizona’s main left fielder.
It was as soon as a rarity that kids would signal long-term offers early of their careers, however that has modified lately. Piecoro identified that Seattle Mariners heart fielder Julio Rodríguez and Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco are among the many gamers who’ve “signed contracts after comparatively little service time.”
Carroll has much less expertise than both of these gamers did once they acquired their extensions, so Piecoro famous that his “worth is perhaps nearer to that of gamers who signed extensions earlier than reaching the majors, equivalent to these given to [Chicago] White Sox outfielders Luis Robert (six years, $50 million) and Eloy Jimenez (six years, $43 million).”
Many imagine Carroll is a future All-Star who will excel each on the plate and within the subject, so it is sensible that Arizona would wish to hold him within the fold long run. He could be a serious a part of serving to the Diamondbacks climb out of the depths of the majors, because the workforce hasn’t completed with a file above .500 since 2019.
