I said in another thread earlier this winter that extensions would be the biggest off-season/ early season development for me, and I stand by it. It will be a huge indicator of how they plan to run their business. Are there currently any teams that don’t give out early extensions? I would imagine the A’s don’t. Marlins as well. Basically the two cheapest teams in baseball. 

Marlins have signed a few contract extensions  This the biggest in 2021.

Sandy Alcantara Marlins $56M, 5 years plus option Signing bonus $1,500,000 2022: $3,500,000 2023: $6,000,000 2024: $9,000,000 2025: $17,000,000 2026: $17,000,000 2027: club option for $21,000,000 or $2,000,000 buyout

Supposedly A's offered this  Chapman is a Boras clent. 

In the aftermath of being traded to the Blue Jays earlier this week, new information about Matt Chapman’s time with the A’s came to light yesterday via Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic. After the 2019 season the A’s reportedly offered Chapman a 10-year, $150 million contact extension. If agreed to, this would have been the largest contact in Oakland A’s history, more than double the $66 million Eric Chavez signed for in 2004. The contract would have covered Chapman’s final pre-arbitration year at league minimum, his 3 arbitration years, and six additional years he will now be a free agent for.

O wow, thanks for that. So yea, I’m skeptical because…Angelos, but if I use logic, I have to think we’ll at least try to lock up young talent.

That’s not true, we’re still paying Chris Davis.

I decided to look only through the years covered in the original contract.  I’m sure there are more than a dozen $100 mm contracts out there with some form of ongoing deferred payments, and I don’t have a good way to identify all of them.  

Also, I assigned the players to the team paying the bill, even if the player is no longer on their roster.  So for example, the Padres got tagged with Hosmer, who is now on the Cubs.
