Dick Allen Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) If you guarantee me $325-350 million the next 13 years and don't want to give me a no trade, there isn't a major league city I wouldn't love to play in. He has to sign this. It is crazy money. Edited November 14, 2014 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought MLB teams learned after all these years of these inflated outrageous contracts blowing up in their face. well he will be 25 on opening day and he should have atleast 10 prime years barring injury, which will have him at just 34 years old after 10 years into this contract. the Pujols contract is much,much worse.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 07:02 AM) I wouldn't sign '01-'04 Bonds to that contract. Baseball is so dumb. Agreed with both of you. The Marlins are banking on Stanton playing at a high level well into his thirties, which is certainly possible, but if his performance falls off or he becomes injury prone he will easily have the worst contract in baseball, ever. If Stanton ever becomes riddled with injury or his performance regresses, he can choose not to opt out and stay under the contract while not even allowing the Marlins to trade him due to the NTC. To boot, the Marlins are an NL team so if Stanton does develope injury problems at some point they don't have the DH spot to utilize in an effort to keep him off the field yet his bat in the lineup. The Marlon's are potentially burying their self alive with such a long and expensive contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) It's worth bearing in mind that 13 years from now, $30 million per year is going to be the number that guys like Nick Swisher get Edited November 15, 2014 by Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it rules out teams like the Padres and so on, but >1/3 of the league would still give up something useful to take that contract on.

LittleHurt05 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The length of the deal is risky of course, but I don't hate it. He's 25, not 31, you are getting his prime years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course 13 years from now, they will probably be making money off things we can't even think of now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 QUOTE (MAX @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 02:57 PM) You are pretty much getting all his years. I don't think its as horrible as some do and I bet its a trade-able asset at some point. Its only a tradeable asset if 1- the player agrees to be traded 2- another team is willing to take on the salary. Just look at the Phillies and Jimmy Rollins, the Phillies would like the salary relief and Rollins doesn't want to leave. If Stanton's production ever regresses like Hamilton/ Texeira/ARod and others; Stanton's salary, contract length, poor production and no trade clause all work against the idea of Stanton being tradeable by the Marlins. If Stanton can continue to produce then its great value but if not, the Marlins have dug their own grave. Stanton is an amazing talent, but I'm glad its not the Sox that are involved with this type of contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Stanton can opt-out if the Marlins go cheap again. This is a great deal for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
