(Underdog) Heyman : L’athlétisme a offert à Nick Kurtz une prolongation estimée à « bien au nord de 100 millions de dollars (peut-être 130 millions de dollars environ). » L’extension est actuellement considérée comme un projet de longue haleine.

Fuck you, John Fisher
100 million is more than enough for anybody.
I don’t see him taking anything less than a Julio level extension given he’s tracking to be a Judge level hitter albeit with limited playing time.
Why are people freaking out without context ? The tweet doesn’t mention the length at all. Bregman took a $100 m extension in arbitration, sometimes they’re worth it to have the guaranteed money and just hit free agency a couple years later
As a 1st baseman, Kurtz is not going to get a Bobby Witt Jr or Tatis Jr. deal. Soderstrom got 7/86 and he’s an outfielder. Corbin Caroll is 8/111 and is a speedy lead off outfielder. I even think it is a slight overpay depending on the years with the $100M. Kurtz is a good player but it’s about the market of his position which isn’t well compensated in this league. There’s very few team friendly 1st base deals to compare it to.
Fisher will open up the checkbooks for San Francisco and Vegas, but for the most devoted fanbase (who hadn’t shown up for years because the baseball was just that bad), his wallet is welded shut.
For 2 years, right?
Kurtz is realistically looking at around $50MM at best before he hits free agency. So this is potentially like offering him 5 years around 35 million give or take depending on exact length.
That seems like a really good offer for a guy who hasn’t even played a full season yet.
They’re gonna put together a playoff team for the move
