[情報] Rox offer Street 3-year deal
INDIANAPOLIS — Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd confirmed today that the
team has offered a three-year contract to closer Huston Street and multi-year
contracts to fellow arbitration eligible players Clint Barmes and Chris
Iannetta.
O'Dowd indicated that it's early in the process with Street, and that he
didn't have a good read on where the negotiations might end up. Street has
been eyeing a deal in the neighborhood of $30 million. Worse-case scenario,
the Rockies will bring the right-hander back on a one-year deal.
O'Dowd didn't not reveal the term of contracts offered Barmes and Iannetta.
The offer to Barmes is believed to be two years, with a club option for free
agency, with Iannetta's deal carrying him to atleast to free agency. Both
players' agents countered the team's initial offers.
"We have talked about a number of different things with (those agents),"
O'Dowd said.
The Rockies remain hopeful that reliever Rafael Betancourt will accept their
one-year deal of around $5 million. He has until 10 p.m. tonight to make a
decision. His Type A free agent status and age (34) are working against him
landing a multi-year contract elsewhere.
Other notable topics:
Jose Contreras remains an option for the bullpen, despite his interest in
heading to Japan. His agent is expected to talk to the Rockies this week. The
Rockies believe his preference is to remain in the big leagues.
With the Rockies committed to keeping outfielder Ryan Spilborghs, they sold
reserve outfielder Matt Murton's rights to the Hanshin Tigers, where he can
make more money and receive more playing time.
"We want to look at Spilly longer. I have no doubt he's going to be better
next year after talking to him," O'Dowd said.
Colorado will turn to LaTroy Hawkins if Betancourt declines arbitration. The
team has cooled on reliever/starter Justin Duchscherer.
The Tigers approached the Rockies about interest in starter Edwin Jackson.
But Colorado determined it was not a fit given the steep asking price.
Fernando Tatis is on the list of utility players the Rockies have called
about, joining Bobby Crosby, Jamey Carroll and Nick Green.
