My guy Long is signed through 2027 as well. It isn't a rookie contract, it is a 7 year contract. Both went into arbitration after last year and the teams decided to give them long term contracts to buy out their arbitration years and one or two years of free agency. Not sure how many years a player and teams can go to arbitration, off hand I think it's five.
