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.
- •Moreno is having a career year with 130 hits and 73 RBIs.
- •He has recorded a.844 OPS and 134 OPS+ this season.
- •The Diamondbacks are in contention for the final Wild Card spot in the National League.
- •Moreno is entering his second arbitration year and is key to the team's future.
- •An extension would secure Moreno's place through at least 2028.
