So my #2 SP 27 year old lefty Everton Bedlow approached me about his contract expiring. Before the season he asked for a 7 year 10.5mil extension. I didn't offer it, and now he asked for 14.5 mil and 9 years.
He's 3-1 with a 2.19 ERA. I should have signed him before the season.

I'm going to counter with 6 years, player option after year 3, and team option for year 6. He'll be 30 in 3 years anyway if he does opt out, and if he starts to decline we can get out of the last year. Hopefully he will sign, and negotiating mood doesn't worsen.
