What Price Matsuzaka?
By Tangotiger, 10:38 AM
UPDATE: Nov 15, 2006
Posting bid was 51 million$.
This is what’s going to happen: Matsuzaka is going to tell Seibu that they have to kick back almost 30 million$ back to him. Why is that? Because Mastsuzaka sees how much he’s worth, and therefore, he’d be better off waiting two years, and become a bonafide free agent, and not share the money.
The 51 fee, plus the likely 60/6 year deal means he’s worth 111 million$ for 6 years (18.3 per year). If he holds out for two years at say 9 million$ total with Seibu, he’d sign an 80/4 deal, for a total of 89 over 6 years.
For him to sign a 60/6 deal means that he’s shortchanging himself 29 million$. Look for Seibu to buyout Matsuzaka for that amount of money.
