iWiN4PreP Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 if the contract is like 3 for 90 that's not too bad TBH. Would have np with the White sox doing that. 4 for 120 is like the expected. Anything over that and i have a hard time with it, anything less i like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this is in the ballpark of what Zach Wheeler got last year. Getting a Cy Young winner at that rate even if the AAV is higher is insane. This is exactly the length of deal that the sox should be all over. Higher AAV and fewer years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offer him a 4 year 160 million follower contract and pay it out over the course of 20 years. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not a good look after a cy young and Springers contract. I'm thinking it lands around 4/120 with some incentives though. Really interested if he is THAT polarizing or if Covid budgets really depressed his market that much. Just glad that yet another stud is going the the National League. The AL is so winnable the next 3-4 seasons. Edited February 4, 2021 by EloyJenkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 1 hour ago, EloyJenkins said: using Twitter to air out negotiations on your first big client will be really WELL received with GMs and peers across the league. Again, Bauer explicitly said this is how he wanted to do it. Right or wrong, he wanted his free agency to be a part of the entertainment process. Why would it be bad for an agent to reflect the desires and goals of her client? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot at all expect pre-covid benchmarks to apply to the mid-covid off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to go with 1/ $1million if he makes the club out of Spring Training. In all seriousness though, I bet Bauer does a video blog and talks about every team that pursued him. So if there ever really was an offer we will know Edited February 4, 2021 by Orlando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
