Rival Agent Miguel Cabrera Should Renegotiate Now - RealGM Wiretap Miguel Cabrera asics gel kayano 20 womens sale , who turned 30 in April, won't become a free agent until after the 2015 season.
Cabrera is widely regarded as the best hitter in baseball, but in two years his value might change given his age and the recent track record of mid-30s free agents.
"If I represented him," said one veteran agent, "I'd try to negotiate something right now. He's got better leverage at 30 than he'd have if he was trying to go someplace else at 32. I'd be shooting not so much for the years, but for the highest AAV [average annual value] in the game. And I think he could get that."
Some executives have speculated something along the lines of three years, $90 million asics gel lyte 33 womens australia , with a vesting option or two, tacked onto the $44 million he has coming in 2014-15.

Red Sox Ownership Cherington Differ On Dombrowski Timeline - RealGM Wiretap
Boston Red Sox ownership and departing general manager Ben Cherington have conflicting stories regarding the timeline of the Dave Dombrowski hire.
Cherington said he did not learn of Boston's plans to hire David Dombrowski as president of baseball operations until this past Saturday, but ownership insists he knew before then.
"I was surprised," Cherington said. "I tried to make it clear to John that I wanted to be a participant in that [hiring] process and help him in any way I could to find the right solution for the Red Sox. I felt as long as I was a participant in that process that I needed to be prepared for what that solution might look like, even if it meant a change with me. I told him that.
"It just so happened that what I was told on Saturday just hadn't been part of that conversation. The first I heard of any pursuit of David was Saturday."
In his telling, John Henry cited a specific date when he first informed Cherington of his interest in Dombrowski.
"On Aug. 4, when the Tigers announced a shakeup of Dave leaving, I spoke to Tom and Ben about having a conversation with Dave asics gel lyte v nightshade for sale ," Henry said. "Tom and I wanted to see if there was a fit for Dave within the Red Sox organization. Ben did not object. Would our philosophies coincide in the present day?"
Cherington said he and Henry had spoken frequently in recent weeks about how best to address the Sox's ills, and valued those conversations.
"Up until Saturday, all I was thinking about was trying to find solutions for the Red Sox," Cherington said. "It appeared to me that the decision that John and Tom were making, which I respect -- I wasn't part of that conversation in a way I felt I could be all-in and helping it work. That's really what it came down to."
