DD talking Tilly extension

[Redskins Rick]

Melewski interviewed DD and I love this quote:

But is there a chance the talks could be resumed?

"There is always an opportunity to resume it, but we're not going to be talking about it even if we do resume it," Duquette said.

I am worried the Porcello deal made things worse. Teams like Boston can afford to overpay and it screws up the salary structure for everyone else.

I think the talks got shut down before the Porcello deal went public.

It will have an impact on Tilly's free market value.

I don't think it as bad as some think. Jayson Werth didn't really set a new precedent. And the Porcello extension was for all free agent years.

Carasco signed for four years and $22M but he has injury concerns and preferred to take guaranteed money. Tillman's lack of injury history plays against signing a more team friendly deal.

Not just Porcello, but look at the other pitcher resigning contracts this season, the whole SP market is going crazy.

Reading between the lines. "Now we know how much Chris really wants so there will be no deal".

He played the Hardy thing, pretty much the same way, they talked, season came, and they shut down talks.

He admitted, if they restart talks, they are not going to talk about it.

Besides Scherzer, what contract was really out of line in the current market?

And then there were the Matt Wieters talks and the Chris Davis talks.

With an agent by the name of Boras.

Not sure how much Boras listens when he talks, he wants to be heard.

That's a good policy. I'm sure that media speculation is probably more distracting to a player than any actual negotiations are.

I agree!

Duquette said the club doesn't talk about extensions during the season. Does that mean he won't discuss a possible extension in public or he won't talk to any agents during the season? I'll assume he means publicly because Hardy was extended during the 2014 season.

Scherzer contract was better then the Porcello one.

That large an amount of deferred money changes everything.
