Guthrie Believed To Be Seeking Three Years, $34MM

By Mike Axisa | November 7, 2012 at 3:12pm CDT

Jeremy Guthrie is believed to be seeking a three-year contract worth $34MM this offseason, reports Bob Dutton of The Kansas City Star. The free agent right-hander is a Brodie Van Wagenen client.

"I think he’s looking at other opportunities, and we’ll see where that goes," said Royals GM Dayton Moore. "It’s hard to predict what is going to happen with a lot of these guys in free agency. It only takes one or two clubs…He’s looking to get the best deal."

Guthrie, 33, pitched to a 3.16 ERA in 91 innings for the Royals after being acquired from the Rockies at midseason. The former Oriole is one of only ten pitchers to throw at least 175 innings every season since 2007, so he offers lots of reliability. Ben Nicholson-Smith examined Guthrie's free agent stock in September, and the Royals have expressed interest in bringing him back.

    He should also seek the ark of the covenant while he is at it. Has a better chance at getting that.

      The “Ark of the Covenant!” I appreciate the humor! Didn’t expect to hear that today. In addition that is why “Top Men” like Brodie Van Wagenen is working on Guthrie getting that kind of deal!

          Does it compare to the ark on the flyballs hit over the center field wall he so generously allowed during his time in B-more?

      Fair contract for Guthrie at market conditions, based on his performance with the Royals last season: Guaranteed one year at $9.5 million, with a two year team option at $22 million. His “Rockie” performance at the beginning of the year is why he should be held back from a 3 year guaranteed contract.

      He lost time while on his Mormon mission, so he’s a young 33.

    This coming from a guy who rides his bike to the ballpark. He must’ve hit his head the last time he fell off his bike in Denver this past spring.

      These aren’t big contracts anymore. Ridiculous TV contracts have resulted in inflation. It’s just the way things are now.

      Timmy – If you haven’t noticed – most ML starters get on average 1M per win. Guthrie is not out of line. Hell – Gavin Floyd got 9.5M

    He’s terrible. He’ll be lucky if he gets half of what he’s asking for. Remember when he was team USA’s ace in the WBC? I hope we get some decent players to participate next time.

    Guthrie would best be served by trying to remain a relevant major league pitcher for 3 more seasons.

    the fact that he wants a 3 year deal is more far fetched then what he wants yearly. i mean there are no bad 1 year deals even if it is for 10M to a #4/5 pitcher.

    At first I thought these were ridiculous demands, but with an agent whose name is as awesome as Brodie Van Wagenen, anything is possible, even for a Jeremy Guthrie.

    As a Royals fan I was so happy that he had a great season when he got over here and talked about how he wanted to stay in KC. Now all of a sudden he wants way too much money when at most he is worth 2 yrs, 16 mil. And that may be going too high. No way you give this guy 3 yrs. We already made the mistake of giving Chen 2 yrs at 14 mil.

    I thought Guthrie was getting near 40. A young buck who is only 33 years old should easily get his asking price in this feeding frenzy.

    They forgot the dash between the 3 & 4. I think it was suppose to say “Guthrie Believed To Be Seeking Three Years, 3-4MM” That makes more sense.

    Guthrie’s put up some respectable numbers after his trade to the Royals, but who knows if that was really an indicator of his value. Teams want consistency and no team will really know if Guthrie will be able to provide that consistency all year long.

    But then again, to the major market teams, $34 million is chump change.
