Infinit Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 HA! THEY WENT BOBBY BONILLA ON THE DAVIS CONTRACT!!! 2:44pm: Via ESPN’s Buster Olney (on Twitter), Davis will receive $17MM per season over the life of the contract. He will then receive $3.5MM a year from 2023 through 2032, then $1.4MM a year from 2033 through 2037. There will be no interest on that $42MM total in deferred money. The length of the deferrals in Davis’ contract is unusual, calling to mind the Mets’ 25 years in deferred payments to former star Bobby Bonilla. Obviously, though, their effect is that they reduce the present-day value of Davis’ contract, even though he will, in fact, receive a total of $161MM. That's just...tremendous.

Ryan Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Just for the hell of it, if he's healthy he should keep playing until 2032 even if it's in their minors somewhere, they have to keep paying him no matter what anyway. He'll be 46 by then, so he could theoretically be on their Double A team as DH for like 8 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piranesi Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Huh. So we just suddenly landed in that area where there is someone being paid to play MLB who has a decent chance to still be being paid to play MLB when I'm dead. I wasn't expecting that today.

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The Jays need to stop messing with Josh Donaldson and sign him to a lucrative long term contract. ASAP. No big rush he still has 2 years of arbitration after this. Dont see him doing anything long term since due to his age he will only get one kick at the free agency can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Haggling over $500,000 with the reigning mvp seems like a bad pr idea for a team with a vocal portion of the fanbase accusing you of heing cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats just always been the Jays, and other teams policy to put forth a number then go to arbitration if they dont match. People are overselling this like its a death match with all kinds of hard feelings.. AA beat Donaldson in arbitration last year. Donaldson will probably win this year no big deal. What the Jays want probably is to work out a bridge deal with Donaldson until the end of his arbitration because if he keeps putting up the numbers he could soak them in arbitration.

hammerva Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 So the Nationals have adopted the "if you can't beat them take their talent" strategy this off season. They already have Daniel Murphy and they are getting closer and closer to acquiring Cespedes. Or at least closer than the actual Mets at this rate the Nationals will have 15 outfielders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 well the Nats offered him a 5 year deal But he prefers the Mets - and supposedly while the mets are offering him a 3 year deal, it will have an opt out after 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
