August 1, 201214 yr Buster Olney just tweeted that qualifying offers will be worth $13.3-13.4 million instead of the $12.4-12.5 that was expected. Wow. Liriano might be worth that... over 2 years.
August 1, 201214 yr Wow, that changes things a little. Not a surprised they traded him now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them try to sign him as a FA though.
August 1, 201214 yr Since neither side even attempted to bring up an extension, I'm guessing neither party has much interest in a reunion.
August 1, 201214 yr I just ran the numbers and the average of the top 125 2012 MLB salaries comes to $12.8M
August 1, 201214 yr Author I just ran the numbers and the average of the top 125 2012 MLB salaries comes to $12.8MInteresting. I thought about doing that, but didn't know how bonuses worked into it... so thought it wouldn't be worth it. Glad someone did the work though.
August 1, 201214 yr I've been hearing $13M for most of the season, so that's not surprising to me at this point. I'd imagine a guy like Michael Bourn will get one regardless, but $12M to $13M isn't going to be a big enough jump for most teams to change their mind. If they'd give $12M, I'd assume they'd give $13M.
