Mike Lowell just posted on Twitter that yelich has signed long term deal according to sources. That's all I got at the moment.

 

@mikelowell25: According to MLB sources, Christian Yelich has finalized a long-term deal with the Marlins! @MLBNetwork @Marlins

 

 

 

 

7 years, over $40 million.

 

 

Per Joe Frisaro

 

Nice Job by the fish to get him on the cheap.

 

 

That's a steal if true!

 

 

Dotting the i's, crossing the t's, it is done

 

 

FUCCCKKK YEAAAAHHHHH

 

 

hot damn! good times

 

 

Can I haz a Ferny extension. please, Boras.

 

 

Step 1: Look up a Yelich jersey.

 

Step 2: Remember how hilariously expensive sports jerseys are when buying through official channels.

 

Step 3a: Try to download a jersey.

 

Step 3b: Check aliexpress.com for knock offs/"lost" merchandise.

 

Step 4: Become happy owner of a new Christian Yelich "official" jersey*

 

*allow many, many weeks for delivery.

 

 

Yowzer!

 

Only Hech to tie up long term and we have ourselves a dynasty.

 

 

Love it! I hope Oz is next... Make it happen!

 

 

Yelich will earn $49.5MM over seven years

 

 

7 years, $49.5 million with an 8th year option (unknown for now if it's a club, player, mutual, or vesting option)

 

 

 

 

This is actually awesome and I am psyched about it. Stanton and Yelich are the best parts of the Marlins outfield. I like Ozuna, but he'll likely have the worst career out of the three so locking up Old Yeller and MonsterDong was much more important.

 

 

so smart. so so smart. good job fish.

 

 

I'm going to screenshot my own tweet because this is exciting and such an awesome move:

 

 

 

 

Let's all not forget that Frisaro was wrong once again on this (he had 7/41)...

​Douche or no douche to do that

 

 

Super pumped!!!

 

Here's hoping somehow we can at least lock up Ozuna arbitration years.

 

 

Team option for 8th year per JCR

​Total douche. I'm cool with it.

 

 

 

 

Long term, the four biggest pieces I believe the team needs to get signed long term to succeed are Stanton, Yelich, Fernandez, and Alvarez. Stanton and Yelich is a hell of a start. I don't expect Fernandez, but getting Alvarez or Ozuna also locked in would be awesome.

 

Seven years of watching Yelich's silky smooth swing is going to be great.
