I much prefer to follow the analytical evaluation than the crap “prestige” evaluation by Boras. "Prestige" is useless if he can't pitch like an ace. Boras, please be informed that "prestige" don't win championships, teams should only be paying $100M if they think he can pitch like an ace in most of the duration of the contract. After reading the article, I think the Brewers should not offer Arrieta a $100M contract, the most I'd offer is 4/80. I've always been curious if you won't do 5/100mil (20mil aav) Then why do 20mil AAV and offer 1 year less? I feel like you are telling the player you will pay him 20mil per year and he's worth that. So to the Player why not hold out for the 5th year? All it takes is 1 to go that 5th year. If I were saying no to his 5/100 ask, I'd drop my offer to 4/74mil. 19/19/18/18. We're not paying you 20mil a year for even 4 years. So why would we do 5? You want a 5 year contract with an opt out after 2? 20/20- 17/15/15. You may want to accept that deal, while I'm still even giving you that option. I should've put $100M+ in my earlier post. From what I read, Boras is looking for a $125M contract which is $25M AAV for 5 years, but my highest offer is 4/$80M - 25/25/15/15 with player opt outs after the second and third year. I'd much prefer less years though, 2 year deal is the best - 2/$50M. If not, 3 years 3/$65M - 25/25/15 with a player opt-out after the second year.
