Hey,

So this is something I keep running into. When a player is coming towards the end of his contract, how do you judge whether their demands are fair when negotiating an extension?

For example, I'm managing Toronto, and Josh Donaldson has 1 year left @ $23m. Offering him an extension, he's asking for 5 years @ $40m per year. This is a HUGE increase, but I'm also aware that he is the team's star player by a long long way. So is there a way of getting some sense of what is a 'reasonable' salary for a player like this?

Thanks in advance,

Wibbs
