Expected Contract

While he is hardly a flawless player, that’s not necessary to strike it rich in free agency. Fowler profiles as a solid regular, and certainly seems to have a better case than did Josh Reddick — who just signed with the Astros for $52MM over four years. We’re predicting a four-year, $64MM contract for Fowler.

I think we all established we'd pay that in a heartbeat, right?

Unrelated, remember when that site was a [expletive] joke? It's nice a aggregator now.

According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, Dexter Fowler's representatives believe he can get $18 million per season on a multi-year deal.
What a difference a year makes. Fowler ended up settling for a one-year, $8 million deal last offseason after rejecting a qualifying offer, but the outlook is much rosier this time after he batted .276/.393/.447 with 13 homers, 48 RBI, and 13 steals over 125 games in 2016. Granted, Fowler wasn't nearly as productive after the start of June, but he's a switch-hitter with proven on-base ability. Heyman hears that the Cardinals, Blue Jays, and Giants are among the clubs believed to have interest.

I do remember. I think it's been a good site longer than it's been a bad site by now. Tim Dierkes worked hard to make it something.
