[GoIrish]

1st round pick would go to Florida and offer would need to be more than 14.7M

[GoIrish]

cubs bid 4 Years @ 8M per

[hokeyrules]

CHC 1st to FLA

[dejota]

he prefers fall back at this point. Rule of thums is 10% per compensation price per year added on. For example:

2yrs - 90%
3yrs - 80%
4yrs - 70%
5yrs+ - 60%

See my Lambo offer.

Chicago made a very reasonable offer in this case. I think a mod vote on this should be involved. (especially since florida wanted the compensation.)

[GoIrish]

I will not go over 8M, so he goes back to florida

[psbaseballfan27]

/this is why no compensation fa ever gets signed. I hear complaints about why this happens and this is exhibit A as why no one even bothers a bid.

Look at it this way. With the CUbs offer he'd only be making 17.3 extra for the 3 years. so Hmmmmmmm make 14.7mil in one year and prolly get at least that as fallback next year or sign a deal where I'm giving up lots of potential money. Which one would you choose?

When GMs stop paying more in salary and prospects for similair players mid-season I might consider it an issue with the league's set-up. I find that approach ridiculous.
