C-Notes 2047.01 - Cougars Get Menzies

Post by GoldenOne » Thu Jun 10, 2021 10:37 am

Charlotte Cougars star SS, Robert "Tosser" Menzies recently signed a 6-year, $108M extension that will keep him in a Cougars uniform through the 2053 season.

While rumors out of the usually tight-lipped Charlotte Front Office were that the Cougars were trying to get creative with their offer for an extension, even to the point of generally having an average annual value and potential incentives that could have led to several million dollars more than he will be making with this contract, Menzies was happy to sign the simpler, straight-forward deal.

While the $18M annual cost may seem a bit steep, the market for star short-stops is often described as the thinnest in the league, making a player like Menzies an extremely valuable commodity for any team. Added to that, Menzies can also play the 2nd thinnest position, centerfield, at an All Star level as well, adding more value with his flexibility.

In 83 games in 2047, Menzies is hitting .277/.388/.373 with 15 runs scored, 24 RBIs, and 6 stolen bases. In 2046, Menzies managed a slash line of .313/.402/.450 with a WAR of 5.7 on the season. In Charlotte's 4 playoff games in 2046, Menzies showed his worth once again by going .467/.579/.733 for a 2.2 WAR.

For his 5-season career, Menzies is a .287/.393/.399 with 22.3 WAR. If Menzies can replicate those career stats over the next 6 seasons, and continue to produce in the playoffs like he did last season (should the Cougars ever return to the playoffs), that $18M a year the Cougars will be paying him will seem like a bargain.

He's at least getting paid well for the next 6 years.
