The city of Tampa, Florida has another star on its hands, and he will now be on a much longer-term contract.

The Rays and Wander Franco agreed to terms on a 12-year extension (11, plus one option year) that maxes out at $223 million.

Your move, Guardians. José Ramírez is waiting.

Less expensive happenings

• Steven Matz inked a $44 million deal with the Cardinals.
• Kendall Graveman is going to now pitch for the White Sox.
• Clint Frazier, DFA’d days ago by NYY, has now been released.
• Kirby Yates is being linked to the DBacks.
• Clayton Kershaw is being linked to the Rangers.
• Adam Cimber has hired a couple of agents! Seems like the kind of player that Sean Payton would give $75 million to if he coached baseball.
