"Soderstrom gets a $3MM signing bonus and $1MM salary in 2026. His salary then jumps to $6MM, $10MM, $12MM, $16MM, $17MM and $19MM in the subsequent seasons. The 2033 club option is worth $27MM with a $2MM buyout. His 2032 and 2033 salaries can jump by $1MM or $2MM based on MVP finishing, though specifics of those escalators haven't been reported."
"They're in agreement with outfielder Tyler Soderstrom on a seven-year, $86MM extension, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. Passan adds that there's a club option for 2033 and escalators that could push the contract value by another $45MM if the option is exercised. The deal buys out at least three free agent years and potentially a fourth, keeping him under club control through his age-31 season."
"Soderstrom becomes the latest core offensive piece whom the A's lock up on a long-term deal. They extended Brent Rooker and Lawrence Butler on respective $60MM and $65.5MM guarantees last winter. Soderstrom tops those by a decent margin, becoming the largest contract in club history in the process. Their three-year, $67MM free agent deal with Luis Severino had previously been that high-water mark."
Tyler Soderstrom agreed to a seven-year, $86 million extension with the Oakland Athletics that includes a $3 million signing bonus and a $1 million 2026 salary. Annual salaries escalate to $6M, $10M, $12M, $16M, $17M and $19M in subsequent seasons, and a 2033 club option carries a $27M value with a $2M buyout. 2032 and 2033 salaries include potential $1M–$2M MVP escalators, and additional performance escalators could raise total value toward $131M. The deal buys out at least three free-agent years, includes limited no-trade protection for 2032–2033, and becomes the largest contract in franchise history.
