Marlins have made a 6Yrs/40 millions offer to Jose Fernandez

[Angrioter]

Marlins have made a six-year, $40 million offer to Jose Fernandez.

The Marlins seem pretty confident in a full recovery for Fernandez following Tommy John surgery. Locking him up for the next six years would provide the Marlins with quite the nucleus and probably add addition incentive for free agents to look into signing with Miami.

Troll offer?

Lmfao

I don't think its that ridiculous, guy just had a major surgery. Its not ridiculous to take the money early. Plus you only give up 1 FA year on a 6 year deal at this point.

 

That and he's still uber young when he reaches FA.

[LongTimeReader]

LOL, talk about your all time low-ball... he should be insulted by such an offer

 

cap filler

Isn't he giving up 2 FA years? I thought he was a free agent in 2019.

oops, did my math wrong, he would be giving up 2 FA years. Still not totally ridiculous, but less reasonable for sure.

 

Fact is pitchers break. Depends how much you want to bet on your health. The guy might end up only earning a handful of millions if he keeps getting injured.

damn, was hoping to get that in before someone else saw my error

[guylaroche5]

nice timing on that offer right after stanton's deal lmao

[burlingtonbandit]

Isn't his agent Boras? lol

[z3r0s]

reading the article closer, it also talks about club options, killing the reasonability of the deal.

seriously...they just signed Stanton to a ridiculous deal...and they are going to offer the pitching equivalent chump change. Boras would have a good laugh over that one.

Hah!

[Travis_Snider]

Funny how 40 million dollar deals are laughable now haha.

 

40 f***ing million dollars!

[Dr. Dinger]

That's a joke of an offer. There's no reason he should consider anything under $100M.

[baseballsss]

He should consider any deal that is 4 years and beats out his projected arb salaries.

 

With TJ surgery and his potential what would his arb salarie potentialy be?

[Laika]

Tough to say. Maybe something like: 0.5, 4, 9, 17?

 

Definitely more. More like Lincecum's.

Sure, but I don't think 40 million does that, nevermind this 6 year slap in the head.

[Spanky99]

Definitely more. More like Lincecum's.

 

What was Lincecum's deal over arb?

[Laika]

Lincecum settled for $9M in first year I think, with the team filing at 8 and him filing for 12.

 

Ryan Howard's first year was $10M I think.

 

Certainly Fernandez would be awarded something more than $4M, if he continues to be a phenom.

[Laika]

Not sure how much the missed year will hurt hough. Counting stats won't be there.

 

Depends on how his partial season goes this year. If he leads the league in ERA and starter K/9 and adds those accomplishments to his ROY, 3rd place CYA finish in 2013... hard to say.

Didn't Kimbrel just get 3-4 mil?
