re: Strief Contract Restructured

well I get that they were only "required" to offer a minimum tender, but my point was he sure as hell earned the right to be treated better then saying we are taking advantage of you because we can, and wait till next year to get paid "only because we have to" then we might pay you for the skill and contributions you have shown on the field.

its just like the strief situation, both are playing better then they are getting paid to, but strief gets paid yet they tell snead

happens all the time, usually after the 3rd year of the year they're RFA and not ERFA, you see teams give them a deal.

it's a nice rah rah to reward a young player now, but at the same time its equivalent to a 5th year option for a 1st rounder. While you could very well give them the contract then, that one year is a "freebie" year for you.

Strief is yet to be seen, like most here think its a goodwill gesture from the organization for all the unnecessary pay cuts he took and ultimately retirement
