Julio Rodriguez. 14 year extension as a rookie worth up to $450 million. [eff it...this is the official J-ROD thread]
- Thread starter Ed MOTHERFUCKING G
- Start date
This is like marrying your girl after a month of dating but hey, good luck to the Mariners and hope J-Rod keeps it up.
Mariners fans have had a run in the past 30+ years as far as franchise cornerstones go.

sets up a young player with generational money right away. its a gamble for both sides for sure. for Julio he should have tried to just do a 10yr. I always liked the Mariners tho since King Felix so im happy for them
I dont think Vlad Jr will feel the need to have to do a deal like this tho.
Felix Hernandez and Edgar Martinez too. They'll have some legends wearing their hat in the HOF soon. Griffey and edgar are in. Ichiro, felix, next
yeah but he rocked a diamondbacks hat. He should've gone back or retired an M IMO.

It's a huge risk to give rookies such a long commitment. I understand why certain teams practice it, but it's not my money.....
It’s more than he came into the league with so props to him… That’s generational wealth
They're probably pricing in 'face of the franchise' which he is.
All i know is they better break off Mitch Haniger because the Ms got a core and I'd rather it not be broken up.

Mitch is 32 in the offseason, though.
Though I will say that since Kelenic is a bum, they probably should try to keep Haniger for another couple of years. They need to spend the bulk of their cash on a middle infielder this offseason more than anything.
I initially thought this was an insane offer based on the headline but the contract details are pretty interesting.
I still think it's a bad deal though. Baseball players are just too volatile to commit this much term and money after half a season. It isn't like basketball where once a guy hits 20-25 PPG, you can count on that for a long time barring injury.
I'm gonna be old as fukk by the end of this deal.

It's not the GMs and owners who would complain, it's agents like Scott Boras.
why? They get paid more and faster...and Jrod becoming a free agent at 34 is more attractive than 37/38 for the next deal.

I wouldn't give that type of contract to a pitcher because arms can explode at a moment's notice, but a position player? I think there's way less risk that's more in line with paying a basketball player. Injury-based regression is the biggest threat in all cases, but pitchers are especially prone to it more than position players/NBA players.I initially thought this was an insane offer based on the headline but the contract details are pretty interesting.
