I don’t see Baltimore paying up front. Probably an incentive Leiden deal would do it.

He was great for the Tiger’s in post season play. If he is deemed healthy then he should get close to 20 million for 2.
EndinStealth
He should take a one year deal at 8 million. Then he can prove it was a fluke year. Go back into the market for a better than 2 year deal next offseason.

Steve, you need to check your math, 48 SOs over 86 IPs can’t be 5.01 SO/9. I think you might be off a decimal point.
Steve Adams
It’s 5.02, not 5.01, if that’s what you’re referring to. I probably keyed it in wrong on the keypad. Thanks.
Jean Matrac
Oops, my mistake. 5.01 SOs/9 is correct.

Uhhh… 48/86 x 9= 5.02

Why would anyone give him a 2 year deal. 1/10 would be the absolute highest for me. Or else give him something like a base of 6 million with 6 million in incentives

I agree. Even if I’m Doug Fister, I don’t really think I want a two year deal. Give me a one year deal with a lot of incentives, let me earn my pay, and then I’ll likely be one of the top starters on the market next winter. If he pitches well on a one year deal, he could become a rich man.

I’m sort of shocked that no one is jumping at 2/$22MM. In the current market, Mike Pelfrey, who has a track record of being terrible, got 2/$16MM. Pelfrey was decent last year, and he and Fister had very similar years last year. Only this was Fister’s first season where he wasn’t well above average.
I totally agree with Steve when he says, ‘If he’s back to full health and able to replicate his 2011-14 success, a $22MM contract would be a steal.’

I would much rather have Fister at 2 / 22MM than Pelfrey at 2 / 16MM.

Take a one year incentive laden deal in Pittsburgh then cash in if successful!

I’d like 2/22 too.
Unlike me though, Fister will probably get 1/7.

Forearm tightness? Sounds like TJS territory.
JT19
Nah probably just fatigue/dead arm. TJ is more elbow related, although if he continues pitching with forearm tightness it definetly could cause him to try to over compensate in other areas, leading to elbow issues.
killerbumblebee
@heisenberg58 could also be a dead arm period. But I’d pass on this guy.
restinpeacebraves
How can someone who lost his spot in the rotation and who always threw slow to begin with have the audacity to command $11 million/per? A team could lose their entire rotation to TJ surgery during spring training and still none would be desperate enough to sign him to that number. He needs to fire his agent immediately.
tigerdoc616
Can’t get it if you don’t ask, I guess. Someone will sign him but not until he comes down on his asking price.

I’d do a one year 8 million base salary with 4 million in incentives with an 15 million team option. Less potential risk for a team, more potential gain for fister.
bravosfan4life
Lol fister isn’t worth that much
