January 15, 201016 yr I jumped out of my seat when I saw the headline on MLB Trade Rumors! This is wonderful news! Two superstars locked up for 4 years and Hanley for longer! I really didn't think this deal would get done. I had no clue what would happen, but I figured the best time to sign JJ had passed. I was wrong, thank God! The other thing that makes me happy is that both of our superstars want to be here. Our future is so unbelievably bright. JJ and H2R for years to come! I feel like celebrating! this is the carter, a lot more rich and a whole lot smarter!

January 15, 201016 yr Wow, was impressed with the figures some of you (MarlinsLou) had figured it would take to get him signed. That was impressive. I'm nervous about the 4 yr deal for a pitcher but at the same time you have to take a risk on someone. Not signing JJ to a longer term deal wouldn't look good as far as the "we are going to ramp up spending as we get closer to the stadium being finished" the organization states from time to time. It is nice to know as a fan, JJ and Hanley will be here for awhile. Now, what is going to happen with Uggla???

January 15, 201016 yr Josh Johnson's contract breakdown: $3.75M this year, $7.75M in 2011 and $13.75M in the final two years of the deal. So really we don't even end up paying him that much more before the new ballpark opens. We're actually getting a bargain on him this season and only paying $7.75M for his services next year. I'm sure they worked it that way intentionally, but jeez that just makes the front office look really cheap. I'm not complaining; I'm ecstatic. Signing talented young players to long-term deals is a lot of fun. I hope we continue to do this in the future *cough* Uggla, Coghlan, maybe even Cantu *cough*. If he pitches as expected, then I hope we lock up Ricky after 2010. That would be excellent!

Not with Morrison and (hopefully) Stanton heading over.

I think the even a big market team like the Mets paid 3M for the first year of Wright's extension.

January 15, 201016 yr Great news. . . JJ is worth the price. Let's face it, signing JJ to a 4 year(or more) contract at this point in his career would be a no-brainer for most of the teams in MLB. But not the Marlins, who have a history of ditching players before they have to write that 7 figure check. . . It's no accident that this happened the day after Loria got publically dressed down by MLB for being cheeeaaaap. It's about time he opened his wallet. Especially after the ballpark handout. . . . I'm thrilled as a fan that I get to watch this guy every 5 days for the next 4 years.

January 15, 201016 yr I figured there was no way he wouldn't sign here after the Marlins rejected the Rangers deal of Feliz/Smoak for him awhile back. This is really nice! MarlinsLou with the nice prediction.

January 15, 201016 yr Author Josh Johnson's contract breakdown: $3.75M this year, $7.75M in 2011 and $13.75M in the final two years of the deal.

Updated Salary And just to refresh, MLB minimum is around $405k next year, I'm arbitrarily giving slight bumps to guys with a little more experience just to reflect the ups/downs this small tender offers will give.
