I might give Betts and Trout an 8 yr deal. But I cannot think of anyone else off the top of my head I would give that long a deal to Betts is only 25, so if pushed and he were a FA, I might consider 10 if I am a big market team As for Harper, one suitor with the big bucks that I cannot see is the Yankees (they have Stanton who was their prize last off season & they have Judge ) no need to spend there. Some project 40 mil a yr but I cannot see it -- maybe in the 30ish mil range At the most would not offer more than 7 yrs (got to take into account the injury history). Can't see the Braves doing it -- Phoolies maybe Today's players are to lean they work out way too much and their bodies seem to break down easier. even Guys like Betts and Trout have been having Injuries. I just don't think a guy who is even just 25 is worth a 10 yr deal. Or- they don’t work out, don’t stay lean, and don’t stay healthy that way....enter Andruw Jones- soon to be maitain- possibly Gohara...the list goes on |

Kirby I could see not wanting to give Betts a big contract, although I don't agree with anyone who holds that opinion. Betts is better than Harper and has been able to stay healthy. Why would anyone not give a long term contract to Trout? He is historically good. Trout could be the best of all time once he's retired.

Trout is the best in the game. 6 or 7 yr deal I'd give him 50 mil a yr. But 10 yrs is just too Long. its just way to big a risk. |
