Brewers Contemplating Extension Offer To Segura
Brewers Contemplating Extension Offer To Segura
Brewers GM Doug Melvin and principal owner Mark Attanasio will meet this weekend to discuss the possibility of engaging young shortstop Jean Segura in Extension negotiations, reports Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. So far, ** discussions with Segura and agent Joe Kleine have taken place. The 24-year-old Segura has looked like a potential extension candidate ever since posting a big season in his first full year with Milwaukee. As MLBTR's Charlie Wilmoth opined back in September, Segura might figure to land a five-year deal (with an option) for a guarantee in the low-$20MM range. Of course, since that time, fellow 1+ service-year shortstop Andrelton Simmons inked a seven-year, $58MM deal. Though Segura lacks Simmons' unbelievable defensive prowess (and resulting high floor), that deal will surely stand in the forefront in negotiations. A poor second half dampened what had been an incredible breakout year for Segura, but he still ended up with an impressive .294/.329/.423 line in 623 plate appearances, posting 12 home runs and 44 stolen bases to go with solid defensive ratings. It was reported back in February that the Brewers had made Segura an Offer during an earlier run at Extension talks, which obviously was turned down. ** doubt the club will need to open the wallet further than it had originally hoped even to get a conversation started. المصدر: Forums Brewers Contemplating Extension Offer To Segura |
