BREAKING NEWS: FELIX HERNANDEZ AND THE SEATTLE MARINERS AGREE TO MULTIYEAR DEAL

[i fr3sh i]

The Seattle Mariners have been shuffling the deck, but it looks like they'll keep their ace.

Hernandez

On the eve of exchanging salary figures for arbitration, right-hander Felix Hernandez has agreed to a multiyear contract with the team, pending a physical, a source with direct knowledge of the talks told ESPN.com's Keith Law on Monday.

The amount or length of the deal were not immediately available.

Hernandez made a case for a big payday with a 19-5 record and a 2.46 ERA in 2009. He had earned $3.8 million in his first year of arbitration eligibility.

The Mariners signed free-agent infielder Chone Figgins, traded for Milton Bradley and re-signed outfielders Franklin Gutierrez and Ken Griffey Jr. in a slew of offseason moves.
