Hernandez deal

FELIX Hernandez agreed to terms on a seven-year deal worth US$175 million with the Seattle Mariners on Tuesday that will make the 26-year-old right-hander the highest-paid pitcher in Major League Baseball. Hernandez, of Venezuela, had been set to make US$19.5 million this year and US$20 million next year to cap a five-year deal worth US$78 signed in 2010. Instead, he will make US$25 million a year from now through the 2019 campaign. MLB's largest prior deal for a pitcher was the seven-year contract worth US$161 million signed before the 2010 season began by New York Yankees star CC Sabathia.
