Probably anything above 10/$300MM. That would be gambling that they could get a >5/$112MM deal at age 31.Radbird wrote:5/$187.5M, AAV $37.5M. What 10-yr AAV would beat that? (asking because I don’t know...)

With all the talk of collusion, and the relative coldness of the hot stove this offseason, I find this fascinating and very relevant to the conversation. This article will seek to delve into the reasons for this change, which I believe is due to a litany of factors.

Discipline. That’s certainly a word.

Re: MLB Payroll Spending
Rockies owner Dick Monfort is optimistic the team can sign Nolan Arenado to a long-term deal.
"I think we've gotten it to the point where we're to the finals," Monfort said. "We're to the crescendo." Optimism on the part of owners isn't anything new or noteworthy, but this goes beyond that; this is something more like Phillies owner John Middleton's comment about spending "stupid" money this winter. (Not a great quote, in hindsight, unless something changes in the next few weeks.) There was a time not long ago Arenado would have been foolish to forgo free agency, almost regardless of the Rockies' offer, but the frigid climate for superstars like Bryce Harper and Manny Machado may make impending free agents think twice about a team's extension advances. Making $26 million this year, a deal for Arenado won't be cheap, chilly free agent climate or not. With the season around the corner and Arenado set to walk this fall, we'll know soon enough just how close the sides are to Monfort's "crescendo."

Discipline? lol
Re: Arenado. I support Rockies re-signing him because
1. He isn’t that good away from Coors
2. Don’t want Cardinals signing him

Good write up on Cardinals payroll:

Are the Cardinals a Player for Bryce Harper or Manny Machado?
No matter what you hear elsewhere, the answer here is simple: absolutely yes.
Although the Cardinals haven’t signed a player to a contract larger than Matt Holliday’s seven-year, $120 million pact, they made competitive offers for Jason Heyward and David Price approaching $200 million each while agreeing to take on over $250 million for Giancarlo Stanton before he ended up in the Bronx last winter. The team hasn’t shied away from monster offers.
As for their roster, even after shipping out Luke Weaver in the Goldschmidt trade, St. Louis is dripping with cheap, controllable pitching behind Mikolas, Wainwright, and Wacha in the form of Martinez, Jack Flaherty, super-prospect Alex Reyes (despite his injuries), and Dakota Hudson, and that’s before factoring in John Gant’s surprising 2018 season. They don’t really need starting pitching help.
The team is loaded up with right-handed bats featuring good-to-great power in Goldschmidt, Ozuna, DeJong, Molina, and defensively-homeless Jose Martinez. Harper would provide an awfully attractive complement in the middle of that order. I’m not sure if Machado fits as smoothly, but Harper sure does.
Watch out for St. Louis on Harper. They make a ton of sense.
