Greg Hibbard Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I don't mind 4/52-55. Everything else is way too much for diminishing returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically a three year $38M extension? Jose will probably get $16-18M in 2019 via the arbitration process. I'd do that too, but I think Jose would be shooting a tad higher.

I'm sure he's shooting higher, but there's no way Jose Abreu gets $18M a year in FA next year at his age, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even those expectations might end up being too high. Seeing guys on tier just below Abreu getting put on waivers who were no where near his price on the open market getting cut has caused me to reconsider the idea of what the price of an Abreu extension might be.

greg775 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Abreu is a better hitter than Hosmer. Case closed. Pay the man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but I could see a 4/$60 or 3/$45-50M type. I'd definitely offer something like 4/$50M with something like 2019: $15M, 2020: $13M, 2021: $12M, 2022: $10M, and see what he says. Jose may just not want to mess with FA and take it. Edited November 28, 2018 by ChiSox59 typo in numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tends to do best in August and September and didn't get many PAs in those months due to his busted nut. Probably wouldn't have been that bad looking of a year if that didn't happen.
