Is He Worth It?

Is my 25 year old RF worth the following contract extension offer?

Year 1: 9.75 million
Year 2: 11 million
Year 3: 12.75 million
Year 4: 13.95 million
Year 5: 14.75 million
Year 6: 16.5 million (team option)

He is in his first year of arbitration (likely to get 6-7 million). I was unable to negotiate with him last season as I didn't have any money available to offer any contracts. That has since changed.

Depends on a lot of things.

Can you afford it?

Is there a more affordable option?

Can you improve by trading?

Without knowing anything about your financial situation, the talent level of the league, etc etc, kind of hard to say.

I agree with the previous poster, but quick answer is, yes he is, very good hitter with awesome defense and young.

In my fictional game 20-30 homers is usually pretty good. Only 4 outfielders hit 30 or more homers this past season.

check his arbitration value then offer him 500K less than that value and if he goes for it then during the following season sign him to a long term contract if you find value with him. For me I find long term contracts major value since you can keep costs down.

I do a lot of 9 to 10 year contracts with the last 2 years with team options

I've tried all sorts of contract offers and he is very difficult to negotiate with. I was able to get him to agree to the deal I offered (in original post). I haven't submitted it yet though.

If all else fails why not just offer arbitration for one year then they seem to be more willing to go long term .... that's the pattern of what I am getting even now I had a few players who wouldn't go long term but would do a one year contract ....I did that with a few of my arb players and after that season signed one to 7 years another 9 years and one 10 years and all 3 contracts with 2 years team options. Got them not so bad a price since they appear to be worth it in the long run
