Marlins Have Offered Jose Fernandez 6 Years Close to $40MM

[Party]

Take that Beinberg.

I mean, Bumgarner signed 5/35 + $12m options after his third season, so it's not unreasonable.

Well the offer is kinda funny because there's zero chance Boras advises him to take it. It's at least $10 million off from Boras beginning to take it seriously.

IMO

I like how Hech is considered before Ozuna and Alvarez.

Probably cause he's more likely to sign.

Or the organization loves those "Hech of a Plays!"

So the deal is six years, but has two club options to keep him in Miami until 2023. I know Jose is represented by Boras, but for some reason he seems like the one guy that would sign. He loves Miami and seems content. Maybe if they get rid of the two options, it would be easier for him to accept it since it's only for six years and not possibly eight.
--------------------
That's my wishful thinking, at least.

The options are what really makes it a good deal for the team, though.

Otherwise, probably worth the risk of injury and ineffectiveness in pitchers to just go year to year in arbitration.

[Miamarlin21]

But six years still buys out two free agent years.

I know Jose is represented by Boras, but for some reason he seems like the one guy that would sign.

If that were the case, he'd have a different agent. Players go with Boras to maximize their dollars, not to stay in one place.

[Miamarlin21]

Touché.

That would seem like the smart way to negotiate with Scott Boras. I wouldn't make my first offer the best one either.

Daft pays sticker price for cars.

[Swifty]

Fair offer. Won't get it done, but fair offer.
