Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno rumored for $140 million deal
Summary

The Arizona Diamondbacks could extend a lucrative contract worth over $140 million to catcher Gabriel Moreno, who is enjoying a standout season. Moreno, currently in his arbitration year, has set multiple career highs this season, including a.301 batting average and 73 RBIs. The potential deal might eclipse the $140 million contract signed by Will Smith with the Dodgers two years ago. With Moreno under club control only through the 2028 season, a significant extension this offseason appears crucial for the team's long-term plans.
