[aaronweiner]

Carolina makes a HUGE splash by signing Santiago Baez.

[7teen]

That was a pretty anti-climactic first Free Agent sim.... The last few seasons have seen some big names go early...

[bschr682]

Havana Sugar Kings: Signed SP Ignacio Rodríguez to a 6-year contract extension worth a total of $93,080,000.

Ummm wow.

[aaronweiner]

Havana Sugar Kings: Signed SP Ignacio Rodríguez to a 6-year contract extension worth a total of $93,080,000.

Ummm wow.

*shrug* That's way more money than my Billy Chapel, Jr., extension at the same age. But it's a good contract nonetheless, probably.

Oh good, we haven't had a good Ignacio Rodriguez is great/crap debate for awhile. Too bad Kyle just left.

[bschr682]

Haha. He isn't crap. But signing a pitcher, any pitcher, to that long of extension is playing with some serious fire. Especially when they were still under contract...

[aaronweiner]

Well, I think he'd have had a different opinion now that Rodriguez has a 7 movement instead of 6.

[bschr682]

40 homers allowed last year does not equal 7 movement. That's a blip. He will be back at 6 shortly.

[bschr682]

Oh I just saw how its structured. That contract isn't as terrible as I initially thought. I thought its fully guaranteed. Disregard.

[Lane]

Oh I just saw how its structured. That contract isn't as terrible as I initially thought. I thought its fully guaranteed. Disregard.

even if it were, he's only 27, so much lower chance of him dying before it ends.

He is 28. If fully guaranteed, he would be under contract until age 35.

Yeah, like Brett said. It's a 6 year contract extension, but he's already under contract through his age 29 season.

[Lane]

Oh I hadn't noticed that it takes him to age 38. Welp. Not as good. But since it's not guaranteed it should be fine.

I sure hope he plays better for you than he did for me.

[tommyboy]

Oh I hadn't noticed that it takes him to age 38. Welp. Not as good. But since it's not guaranteed it should be fine.

This deal locks him up till 33 with age 34 and 35 both non-guaranteed at 15 million per season.

He led the league in K's and WHIP last year...didnt realize he was highly debated in here!

A lot of pros about him...IP, K, WHIP,
And the negative....Long ball

In 2030 was 10th in WAR, 2nd in GS, 8th in ERA, 5th in Winning %, 9th in BF, 1st in K, 1st in WHIP, 2nd in K/BB, 3rd in RA/9, 5th in QS

All of this despite the HR's

Any team in a pitchers park should be drooling to try and get this guy.

[bschr682]

Only if they can take the cap hit. The cap looms over everything we do. But yes I continue to drool over what I think he could have done in my park over the years.

Very true...good news is I can take salary back in a deal (If i end up dealing him as I am willing to ride him out as well)

[niles08]

Patiently waiting for advance. Lol. Hoping Indy makes a splash
