Talkin' 'bout all extensions thread

[rico43]

With all these signings having their own thread, it seems a good idea to start an all-extension thread without merging the other six or seven.

So, are the Braves done? Will Heyward (or Justin??) see the light and sign an extensison? What about Chris Johnson? Medlen? Minor?

The Braves have done a remarkable job -- notable because it's got the national medial talking about them for the first time. The only negative I've heard is Keith Olbermann wondering the prudence of signing closers long term in light of the Jonathan Paplebon debacle. Many of you hate my old friend, but he's got a point to discuss if nothing else.

I think that Jason is next most likely to extend. I think we may see Justin sign a 2 year extension to stay around to play with his brother if they both do better next year. Minor who knows, he'll be a costly extension is my guess. Medlen and CJ are gone JMO. Braves may shock us all but I figured they're likely gone given that htey're both older and we only have so much budget.

I love Olbermann. He speaks his mind and doesn't give a rip if what you think about him.

I hope Minor is next.

[Heyward]

DOB said he thinks Minor may be next.

They'll try to keep Jason, but not sure he will sign (not that he doesnt want to be with Atl, he might want to test FA)

Justin solely depends on if Jason signs.

[Heyward]

Dont see us keeping Medlen or CJ long-term though.

[Hudson2]

If he wants to test FA then he doesn't wanna be with ATL

Ignoring that the Braves and Jason have both expressed interest in an extension they're just not together. For real.

[Hudson2]

Like I said. If he goes to FA then he won't be here. Do the head shake all u want. It's true.

[Hudson2]

Seek sucide. An ur retarded if u actually believe that we would outbid other teams in FA.

Never said we would but has a player in any sport tested FA and not signed back with the team before?

But we do have more money than we did this time a year ago.

This shouldnt of been a problem if they would of tried to extend him early in his career when he wouldnt of cost as much as he would now.

[zitothebrave]

That to douche

too

SAV gonna come clean up or can I go off the leash?

[zitothebrave]

** suicide and your **

you're

[Heyward]

That to douche

lol you mad bro?

[Hudson2]

I agree about the signing him early. But if I remember they tried to sign him and Freddie a few times and were turned down. And yeah we have more money bc of the new stadium but we're still not a team that goes into FA and outbids bigger market teams. How many times have we ever done that? I can't recall any.

Derek Lowe being a recent one, Greg Maddux being another one. Well we may not have outbid the Yankmees for Maddux but we got him.
