If George Springer still hasn’t signed with an MLB team, it may be because the teams are very conservative and the game of patience is called for. The formations want to know what is the price to pay for players of his caliber.
While the Blue Jays and Mets seem to be in the height of the race, Springer would be asking for nothing less than the jackpot and let’s say the team that is going to acquire his services will have to pay a lot of money.
The center fielder is reportedly asking for a $ 150 million contract. Springer representatives Excel Sports Management did not comment on their client’s requests.
That’s what Andy Martino, a insider, asserted.
Have you also received messages on Twitter saying Springer was close to a deal with the Mets? Well according to Martino, these messages were falsely sent. This is far from true.
Andy Martino added that the Mets would be able to offer Springer the required amount, but the two camps are not on the same wavelength at the moment.
Even though New York is not in a position to win the George Springer derby, the team have plenty of money and a big signing from them is very much in the pipeline by the start of training camp. Trevor Bauer, DJ LeMahieu, JT Realmuto – unlikely – and Marcus Semien are still available.
This season, the Houston Astros outfielder has maintained a respectable .265 batting average. In seven seasons in Houston, he made an All-Star Game three times.
