Chris Toph.
I would say to go ahead and sign him. He’s had one bad year – so what? Give the guy a chance to bounce back.

I want Boston to give him a nice one year deal, mutual option for a second year sort of like Beltre had. Give the guy 10M up front and make him earn the rest. If he bounces back, he’ll get a 3-4 year deal next offseason. If not, he will work off one year deals with options from here on out.

If I ran a team, I’d only offer incentive-based contracts. Highly reward those that maintain good production based on career numbers and league averages at the positions, and let the underperforming players get underwhelming pay. Basically what I’m telling you is: nobody would play on my team. But it’s a nice thought anyways.

The players that would jump at that type of contract are the Eric Chavez, Andruw Jones,etc of the world. Ones that were productive but are coming off injuries/bad seasons and looking to rebuild their value. Or players that are hanging on to their final days in the sun (like Vladdy Guerrero).

I would try to sign him as a Red Sox for 2/32 mill. Even though he has an off year, he should still be worth a number 2 or 3 slot.

Maybe if the second year was some sort of option. Unless a team is going to overpay in terms of dollars and years for Haren on an off year, the teams negotiating with him and his agent have the leverage.

They have to pick up the option. Can’t give up on the guy for one bad season especially when he played hurt for a couple of months. The trickier option is Santana’s. He’s been more inconsistent. I say pick up Haren’s, decline Santana’s, sign Greinke and give the 5th spot to Richards.

I would think the angels pick up the option. too risky to decline option then make a qualifying offer of over 13 mil. In the end they would pay more if he accepts and all just at the chance of getting a mid to late first round pick

Haren has no velocity on his fastball. TIme to say goodbye. At least Ervin has a fastball.
