iLikeDefense Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 So it’s 5/$105 and if he doesn’t opt it’s 3/39. It like it for the padres. Does put a huge logjam at OF with Myers going back there. Pierla, Myers, renfroe, Margot, Jankowski, Dickerson and Cordero. Margot and Myers start/stay. I could see them shopping the rest aside from Cordero who they love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Finally! Probably didnt get as much as he wanted. He likely opts out though right? 3 years and 39 mill is like nothing in baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he for some reason flames out by his age 32 season, he has $39M to bank on. If he's still a good player, he can easily beat 3/$39M on the open market. This looks like a really good deal for both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many reasons for me, but the main 2 are that the Padres are nowhere close to contending yet and Hosmer just isn't that good. He's had 7 seasons in the bigs, and hasn't amassed 10 fWAR. Hosmer got himself a good deal (a great one in this market), but that's a giant headscratcher from the team's perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus his average power is going to be even worse in Petco, and the signing makes the Padres worse in the OF with Wil Myers going there. He is absolutely awful there.

People complain that too many teams are tanking and teh fa market is too soft and then when a team signs someone its a headscratcher. DO we want this to be like the NBA where theres like 10 teams trying to actually be good and everyone else is dumping any tradable asset they have to rebuild? If you believe that Hosmer has enough good contact to maintain a .330ish BABIP, then hes likely a 3+ war player and makes that a much more formidable lineup. if you think .330 is flukey and then hes not worth it. But for a fairly reasonable deal why not take a shot on a player that could still develop some, hes only 28? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking a shot is one thing, paying him this much over 5 years with a player option (albeit not that bad) for another 3 is something else. We know what Eric Hosmer is, and he isn’t someone you should throw a bunch of money and years at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
