Per the Mariners’ policy, they did not disclose terms of the contracts.
Paxton is under team control until 2021. His deal is reportedly worth $4.9 million, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times.
Phelps is set to earn $5.5 million, per FanRag’s Robert Murray.
Zunino, whose deal was first reported Thursday, will make $2.975 million, according to ESPN.com’s Jerry Crasnick.
Update 2:29 p.m.: The Mariners previously agreed on contracts with arbitration-eligible players Andrew Romine (utility) and Mike Morin (pitcher). An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that they had yet to agree to 2018 deals.
