Markakis extended? Sun reports 'close'

[brvn52]

By the way, any idea on how much?

[brvn52]

Major and continuing rep coming your way if confirmed in the next few hours.

Otherwise.... yeah, you know...

Agreed.

A news source is about all I'll say

What "news source?" So this is not insider info....?

[scOtt]

MacPhail pulls off an absolutely necessary signing.

If true, it most definitely is! Nick is one of our cornerstones. He is non-negotiable. We HAVE to retain him!

No offense to ya, but are there any Mods around to verify this guy's source? Not asking you to give them up to us; just wanna know what those in charge say.

My guess would be between $65 million and $75 million.

[SrMeowMeow]

Have you (OP) been vetted by the mods yet? No offense, but that's a pretty vital question.

[o'sfan2009]

So how would you rate this offseason now? a D to C? A C to a B? How would you all grade it, assuming that it is true...

[scOtt]

By the way, any idea on how much?

Just to spur debate... I don't much care about WHAT the contract is, years or money. If it means Nick is signed, I am down. Blank check.

[TonySoprano]

Quick! Someone find something new for JTrea to get apoplectic about!

(assuming this is true)

I very much doubt its for that much.

[Trinidad]

If this is true.

Not to doubt the poster but to my knowledge, he hasn't ever posted an insider news...I hope he is right though.

The fact that it's a media source makes it a little more likely that he has a valid source, as it would be second or third hand info. And it would make sense that the media would await info on terms before running on such a minor(compared to someone like Manny or Tex) signing. That being said, I hope he's not just messing with us and I hope it's true!!!!

[WietersOvechkin]

If this is true then ill...

From a C to a B-

I very much doubt its for that much.

I agree. It's probably more like 5/$52 or something like that.
