Blake Snell (32), who failed to win the desired contract despite winning the National League Cy Young Award last year, is expected to succeed in "FA re-entry."
The New York Mets will sign a five-year-$155 million contract with Snell on the 14th (Korea time).
That's a $31 million contract for Snell's 33-37 season. If the deal is signed, Snell is expected to win the FA re-entry title.
After winning the Cy Young Award last year, Snell aimed for a huge hit in the free agent market. However, the market showed cold responses. He said he could not trust Snell.
Snell signed a one-plus-one-year contract with the San Francisco Giants and sought to become an FA again. The result was a huge success. Snell returned to the FA market after making remarkable performances after summer.
Snell pitched 104 innings in 20 games this season, going 5-3 with a 3.12 ERA and 145 strikeouts. What's surprising is his second-half performance. 토토사이트
Snell had only 6.31 ERA in eight games in the first half. However, he had five wins and no losses in 12 games in the second half and posted an ERA of 1.45.
Snell pitched well, with his highest monthly ERA in the second half being 1.64 days in August. The peak was Aug. 3 against the Cincinnati Reds in a no-heater game.
Snell also showed once again how well he can perform when he is in good condition. This indicates that the highest score is at the level of a unanimous Cy Young Award.
In particular, Snell proved that his four-seam fastball power is alive despite his 32-year-old season. This can ease the burden of giving Snell a long-term contract.
Snell is not eligible for a qualifying offer. He does not have to worry about losing his draft picks on the team that wants to recruit Snell.
Snell is expected to hit a jackpot contract in the FA market after the 32-year-old season ends. Several clubs are expected to offer contracts worth around mid-100 million dollars.
