Galaxy Gas 2063.41 - Looming Free Agency/Arbitration Decisions for 2064
One of the benefits of having 13 rookies on your roster come September is that there are not a lot of contract nor arbitration negotiations to be had.
Most of the true free agency decisions are pretty cut and dried. Pitcher Todd Jones has been put on the waiver wire and will be a definite NO.for an extension. Gerardo Rae has been manning the #5 spot in the rotation until something better comes along so he will also be a definite NO.
Luis Perez will not be back barring anything short of the bizzare in the off-season. He keeps asking why he isn't the closer in place of Dave Furman even though Perez has blown 10 saves in 31 opportunities as a setup man.
Keith Fitter and Manny Hernandez have worked their way down to the minors and will not get their contracts renewed beyond their $500K years for sure.
Pedro German has done an admirable job appearing in 45 games with a 2.30 ERA to date. However, his 39 year-old arm may be seeing the last of his days in Valencia this upcoming week. Michael Dixon is a crowd favorite but as another 39 year-old pitching a 5.09 ERA it is tough to see him come back unless it is just to draw tickets.
Don't' be surprised if none of these players are seen in Valencia in 2064 unless it is wearing the visiting team's uniforms.
On the arbitration side of things there are three players on the list - all pitchers.
Reliever Bill Williams who just went on the DL for 11 months will definitely be out. Reliever Alphonse Lease is estimated to be around $850K next season. Considering is 5.30 ERA and 0.0 WAR this season, the smart money is on him being gone as well.
Then the last decision is with starter Sam MacPherson. The current arbitration estimate for him is sitting at $1.3M for next season. Given his strong but yet sometimes inconsistent performance of late as well as a WAR of 1.0, do not be shocked if he returns to the Valencia fold in 2064.
