Check out this blog entry, it breaks down how negotiations may work and suggests what Giancarlo Stanton may be worth.

Proposing 5/$50 [with a 6th year option for $15] ... hmm ...

I'd guess that could be accepted by Stanton, but who knows?

I still think it takes 6/$80 million to get any deal done. We waited a year too long to get a team friendly deal.

So that article is not saying that 10 years/$200 million is a reasonable offer? How can that be?

Was waiting for it. Thank you.

I agree with you on this one, actually.

That's an average of $13.3 million a year, so let's say that goes something like 8, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17 mill in those years. Maybe add in 2 options for about $20 mill each, incentive laden, as well. It's an idea, and that keeps him here until he's 32.

Good god can you imagine the amount of money Stanton would get in his prime at 27 years old and a free agent. Yikes!
