Read the rules again. Your question is answered in them. @Lloyd Carr
All pre-arbitration extensions must be at least 80% of the player's arbitration estimate at the time of signing. Example: Player's arbitration estimate for 2023: $5 milliom Correctly structured contract extension: (A)2023 $4m, 2024 $4m, 2025 $4m or (B)2023 $3m, 2024 $4m, 2025 $5m Incorrectly structured contract extension: (C)2023 $1m, 2024 $1m, 2025 $1m
Thats right. It was his second contract. We made the other rule for that reason. I know @doh was the one really against front loading.It was one of your really good prospects and the contract was like 8m, 6m, 5m, 5m or something when his estimate was 8m. It wasn't egregious or anything but we had already did the 80% rule, we just hadn't applied it to years after the 1st yet.
Its normal sim time tonight.@OU11 when are you starting the draft? I know you said 11 CST, but is that 11 tonight or 11 today? Would make a difference to me as I am the #1 pick and don't want to hold us up either way.
Ah yes. I think it was Browning. Greatest 1B of all timeIt was one of your really good prospects and the contract was like 8m, 6m, 5m, 5m or something when his estimate was 8m. It wasn't egregious or anything but we had already did the 80% rule, we just hadn't applied it to years after the 1st yet.
I think my argument back then was that why would a guy sign for 3/4 years, making his arb estimate the first year and then make less money (when arbitration will always raise your salary)? If you offered him that extension irl he'd just ask for a 1-year deal to make 8m, 8.5m, 9m, 10m, etc. If the front portion is more than the estimate it makes more sense, I guess.
We weren't slowing down that's for sure. I do kind of miss the smaller divisions.Our teams were both going to be so good, but Madison would've still won the division every year. ENE
You were against JDs deal that paid him less than his arb in his second contract. We all pretty much agreed after debate and the rules were implemented.I was against 15-5-5 deals. I think the one with DLS is very fair.
Always extend. If it is a MR you can get away with arb thoughIn everyone's experience, if you offer arbitration, how do the player's salary demands change the following year?
If you plan on keeping a player for more than a year, should you go to arbitration or offer an extension straight out of the gate?
If they want more than one year, youre going to have a tough time negotiating. If they want something like 6M for 1 year you can offer 5 years at 80% and theyll acceptOne more: If you offer arbitration, do most players take an offer that is within reason? Should I offer whatever the estimate is, or undercut it by like 15-20%? If they think I undercut them too much, what happens then? Do they just go to FA and then I have to bid against the rest of you'll?
I'll add-on to this saying they will accept anywhere from 3-5 years at 80%. If they have already gone to arb once they normally won't accept less than their estimate.If they want more than one year, youre going to have a tough time negotiating. If they want something like 6M for 1 year you can offer 5 years at 80% and theyll accept
Yeah i was only speaking about players who havent been to arb yetI'll add-on to this saying they will accept anywhere from 3-5 years at 80%. If they have already gone to arb once they normally won't accept less than their estimate.
