5\61 seems about right.

My offer would be to assist him with his relocation to LA in any way possible.

Most think he'll get $18 mil for his 2 years of arbitration, And $18 mil. per seems a good ballpark figure for his first 2 years of FA. So if you wanted to start with a generous offer in order to cut to the chase and avoid insulting him again, I'd go 4/$56-60 mil.

Hence the word Update T..Im hearing some numbers from my guy. Just want to see what you all have in mind.

[Elbren]

4 years / $52 Mil. with a $15 Mil. 5th year option.

I highly doubt that keeps him here, but I'm a bit hesitant to throw more money, or especially years, at a guy who has had injury problems and has only made 30 starts once.

If it's only a matter of $1 - 2 Mil. per year that's keeping him from signing, then that's obviously something you can work around, but I'd have a hard time guaranteeing that 5th year or even going to 6.

That is a great answer.

8/160

Not kidding.

[Adam]

That is a great answer.

LOL... works for me, too. I don't mean to sound like a pessimist, but I just don't think Bedard stays, no matter the offer.

[Sports Guy]

If the Dodgers want to give up the right players, I don't entertain an offer.

The most I would pay him is 4/56.

[TGO]

4/54, club option for 5th at 19M, buyout of 2M. Makes it 4/56 or 5/73.

I think your getting the hint.

That is beyond absurd.

You are willing to pay him almost 24 million a year in his FA years and sign him at that price well into his mid 30s?
