November 9, 20187 yr So this team didn't willing to offer 5/100 ? They'd be stupid to do that. He will earn less than $20 million combined over the next two seasons in arby. This would mean that would be a contract worth at least $80 million over three years, perhaps more.
November 9, 20187 yr 5/100 is probably too much considering he has 2 years left of arby where he'll earn nowhere close to $40M The total amount of those two arby should be around 20~22 million.
November 9, 20187 yr The total amount of those two arby should be around 20~22 million. Likely less than that considering he earned under $3 million in 2018 and even at that number, it is still dumb to give 5/100.
November 9, 20187 yr I don't mind $20M AAV in the FA years but giving him that in his 2 arby years is stupid.
November 9, 20187 yr They'd be stupid to do that. He will earn less than $20 million combined over the next two seasons in arby. This would mean that would be a contract worth at least $80 million over three years, perhaps more. So a 5/80 offer should be much more reasonably.
November 9, 20187 yr So a 5/80 offer should be much more reasonably. Yeah and I'm guessing that is closer to what they offered.
November 9, 20187 yr Marlins won't go 5/100 with JT. I sure hope they won't. Why would you hope for that?
November 9, 20187 yr This is a team that can't spend recklessly, every contract has to be smart. You don't give a guy FA money in 2 arby years. It is just bad business.
November 9, 20187 yr Yeah and I'm guessing that is closer to what they offered. If that was close to what they offered or would offer then that is more than fair.
November 9, 20187 yr At some point, though, they'll have to change the culture, and show that they're willing to pay and keep people instead of always just recycling guys into other prospects. This new regime was only take over this franchise for one year and I don't think the trades for those priced players in the beginning of this rebuilding were "culture of recycling guys into other prospects", I believe in the right time they would start to spend what they need to improve this team.
November 9, 20187 yr Good run through on the market for JT. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/so-you-want-to-trade-for-j-t-realmuto/
November 9, 20187 yr "It's not my decision whether I get traded or not. It's up to the Marlins. Whatever they want to do with me, that's up to them. So for me, there is really no discussion to be had. My job is to show up and play baseball." Quote from JT in Japan. To me this sounds like there's only two options, get traded or stay with the team, and either way he'll accept it and be fine... but definitely doesn't sound like he's thinking about an extension. It also doesn't sound like he's pushing for a trade and it also doesn't sound like he'd be a problem if he isn't traded.

November 9, 20187 yr Good run through on the market for JT. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/so-you-want-to-trade-for-j-t-realmuto/ Fangraphs? Eh. I wonder if they’ll ever do an elegy for the Marlins...
November 10, 20187 yr I love how so many teams have prospects that are “off the table” for Realmuto. I agree with Fangraphs 100%; only Vlad Jr should be off the table for JT. JT can put a good franchise over the hump.

It also doesn't sound like he's pushing for a trade and it also doesn't sound like he'd be a problem if he isn't traded. Pretty much yeah. But if he isn't going to be receptive to an extension unless it is overpaid then the right solution is to move him. I am sure his agent is gonna be looking for something around 5 years / $100 million. I am honestly more excited about what we could get in return. Winter Meetings can't come soon enough!
November 11, 20187 yr "years" He's under control for 2 more years so they literally do not have "years" before they can trade him as in "years" he'll be a free agent. They have a year, but his value can only go down from here.
November 11, 20187 yr You can find many good pitchers,outfielders and infielders, but you can't find another Realmuto.
November 11, 20187 yr You can find many good pitchers,outfielders and infielders, but you can't find another Realmuto. This is literally a fact.
November 11, 20187 yr This is literally a fact. It's why I rather to keep JT than trade him for "can't pass prospects".
