Latest note on Nola from MLBTR:

“Nightengale’s report goes on to suggest that Nola’s camp is seeking a seven-year, $210MM deal while the Phillies have countered with a six-year, $150MM offer at this point.”

To be clear, a 7 year deal would cover his age 31-37 seasons. That’s a big no thank you.

nightengale now reporting its 7 years for $170-175 million. Glad we didn’t bite there.

 

[Enscheff]

That came together quickly, probably because the Phillies were bidding against themselves. I was a hard no at the predicted 6/150, and 7/170+ is even worse.

 

[Hudson2]

I think Nola ends back up in Philly.

 

[msstate7]

Will the Phillies pursue snell?

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Nola is staying in Philly. Seven years $172 million

Nailed it. 24 per year isn’t bad. It’s the years.

Thank God we dodged that. But that also for sure means bye bye Fried.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Phillies already throwing that stupid money around.

That sets the market. Yamamoto will probably be around the same price but with a posting fee attached. I’d do that deal for him.

That’s good news for us. Means AA is ready to play in deeper waters. I fully expect him to get a very good SP.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Per Heyman, no options or opt-outs in Nola’s deal

 

[bravesnumberone]

Did AA bait the Phillies into this?

Not bad they probably finish with basically the same team.

 

[CJ9]

I think we end up with Montgomery. I really just hope AA doesn’t give up those picks for Sonny Gray.

That sets the market. Yamamoto will probably be around the same price but with a posting fee attached. I’d do that deal for him.

I think that's the big thing with the signing. Snell probably tries to go higher in AAV, but the pecking order is now pretty much set and we'll have to see how the offers/negotiations unfold.

 

[Enscheff]

Based on the very limited info we have, it stands to reason the Braves offer was around 6/150 (the last reported offer by the Phils) which was then topped by the 6/172 contract.

That tells me AA is willing to go upwards of $25M over any reasonable number of years for a SP, so the cash is there for anyone and only “stupid” money can outbid AA.

 

[ixiXSolidXixi]

The question is if Phillies go to 7 years probably Atlanta offer 6 years to 7 years for basically the same amount?
