TARPONS EXTEND SUGIHARA, 6 YEARS 18 MILLION
25 year old Yasushi Sugihara has agreed to terms on a 6 year 18 million dollar extension with the Florida Tarpons. The 3 million dollar 6th year is a club option. Both parties wanted to make this happen as many in the Florida camp believe the youngster is on the verge of becoming one of the game's elite.
GM'S OFFICE
This is most certainly a contract paying out for what he
WILL do and not really what he
HAS done. He's just turned 25 and if our scouts are right he's a soon to be ace. He makes his final AAA rehab start tomorrow.
STAR RELIEVER SIGNS EXTENSION WITH FLORIDA
28-year-old 2 time Gossage Award winner Brad Turner has agreed to terms on a 5 year 12.34 million dollar contract extension with the Florida Tarpons. Tarpons GM Gehrig Schilling said “This was something we felt very strongly about since the day Brad let it be known he wanted to stay. These 2.5 years he's become what we believe is the games most dominant reliever and we look forward to many more years of that type of performance”
GM'S OFFICE
The contract calls for base salaries of 1.9, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8 and 3 million annually. He'll be 33 when the deal comes up and we felt it was a deal worth 'risking' for a guy who is likely to be our closer if we do not manage to get Galindo under any sort of extension.
