Vote: How Many Years for Oliver Perez
Oliver Perez is scheduled to be a free agent at the end of this season.
Yesterday, Mets GM Omar Minaya was asked by a reporter if the team intends to sign Perez to a new contract, which Minaya answered by saying, “It will be discussed in the off-season.”
…now, these will be some interesting negotiations…a) perez has shown himself to be a dominant, ace-like pitcher, especially in big games against big teams…b) he has also shown himself to be a total train wreck, able to come unhinged at the drop of a hat…c) he’s a lefty…d) he’s not yet 30 years old…e) other pitchers, who fit his model, have been given at least three-year deals…f) and, and most importantly, he is represented by the irrational super-agent Scott Boras, who, i’m willing to bet, starts off by asking for a five-year contract worth at least $10 million per season…
…like i said, it will be quite entertaining…
