Giants Extend Posey for 9 years

[Richard]

posey gets $167M over 9 years.

About $18 million a year.  Buying out 3 years of arb.  

 

Not too bad for a MVP and World Series winner at a prime position.

I would take this next year for Trout in a heartbeat.... Assuming he continues to have an MVP caliber season (which I beleive he will).

[HaloCory22]

**** yeah! Stoked for Posey.

Same here. He should be around this money if he repeats last years numbers.

[Angel Oracle]

If Trout continues to play like he has for the next 2 years, I imagine Arte will do the same for him?

 

 

Posey essentially only has some 2 seasons of MLB experience (308 games played).

[Wallerrrr]

pretty fair deal..awesome for both sides.

 

i'd be stoked if Trout signed this type of deal with the Halos.

[Mile High Dreams]

Posey has 2 rings...let's hope Trout will soon.

[Troll Daddy]

Trout needs to give the Angels a hometown discount so we can afford him.

9 years for a catcher is just silly and considering they already lost him for nearly a year caused by a home plate collision just means they took risk analysis and tossed it out the window. I hope he can play 1st base because the NL doesn't have a DH.

He won't be a catcher for more than about 3 more years.
