Mitch was 32 yo played 57 games and put up a .736 OPS and got $43M for 3 season. The FA market was flush with Bats.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 7:11 pmI can.D-train wrote: ↑Mon Nov 06, 2023 6:52 pmA little over three hours to go. This would complete shock me given how much they love their draft picks. I can't believe they would think he would accept it.Hernandez's first year in Seattle was a very up-and-down affair that ended with good-not-great numbers of a 106 OPS+ and 26 homers, more akin to his 2019 than his very strong 2020-22 run. The Mariners have identified making more contact (they had the second-most strikeouts in baseball) as a priority, and Hernandez whiffed 211 times. This one could go either way, though the Mariners may also be looking to focus all their dollars on an Ohtani chase. It’s tricky, because Seattle may not want to extend the offer, but Hernandez might not take it anyway. Ultimately, given his relatively average season, we think they’ll find other ways to make contact and add power.
Prediction: Does not receive an offer.
$21 million for 1 year coming off a shit year? $21 million for a chance to prove himself and set up a big contract in '23?
He's like the 5th best OF in my eyes. If he gets a multi-year contract, it's going to be like $15 million AAV. So why turn down the extra $6 million now if you think you'll get the same offer or better next off season?
Teo is 31 yo played 160 games and put up a .741 OPS OPS. He isn't going to settle for a 1 year deal without testing FA with a Major dearth of bats in this FA market.
