Transaction
The 20-year-old infielder gets his first major league action two months after signing a record $95 million deal.
The Mariners promoted 20-year-old infielder Colt Emerson to the majors for a Sunday game against the Padres, two months after he signed a record $95 million contract. Emerson, one of baseball's top young prospects, will make his debut in that matchup.
The timing compresses an unusual arc: Emerson went from record-setting prospect deal to immediate big league opportunity, skipping the typical minor league conditioning window that follows such agreements. He becomes Seattle's latest young position player to move directly into the active roster.
