Negotiations ongoing, Felix won't pitch in Classic
Mariners reiterate reports of extension premature; ace withdraws from
tournament
By Greg Johns / MLB.com | 2/8/2013 8:59 P.M. ET
SEATTLE -- Despite the flood of national reports on Thursday saying Felix
Hernandez and the Mariners had agreed to a seven-year, $175 million contract,
both the Mariners and his agency insisted Friday those reports were incorrect
and no deal had been finalized.
Additionally, Hernandez will now skip the World Baseball Classic and not
represent his native Venezuela this spring while negotiations on a new deal
with the Mariners remain under way.
"We still have not reached an agreement, but we are moving forward," Wilfredo
Polidor of the Octagon agency that represents Hernandez told
ESPNdeportes.com. "At this moment, we have covered 70 percent of the road."
The Mariners have said from the start that no deal was yet in place.
"We've been consistent on this," said Tim Hevly, Mariners director of
baseball information. "No announcement is planned or imminent."
The Mariners and Hernandez have been pursuing a contract extension over the
offseason, and while they appear to be closing in on a new deal, reports of
an actual agreement were premature.
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported Thursday that an anonymous source who
was "familiar with the contract details" indicated a deal would be finalized
before Spring Training to extend Hernandez's contract through 2019 at an
average annual salary of $25 million.
Mariners pitchers and catchers are scheduled to report Tuesday in Peoria,
Ariz., and Hernandez is expected to be there. But he'll apparently still be
operating on the final two seasons of his current contract, which pays him
$40.5 million through 2014.
Hernandez, 26, has been with the Mariners his entire career, and both sides
have said they're interested in extending that relationship. But clearly
there is much to be worked through in a situation that could make Hernandez
one of the highest paid pitchers in baseball history.
CC Sabathia of the Yankees currently has the largest overall contract for a
pitcher, with a seven-year, $161 million deal he signed before the 2010
season. Zack Greinke signed the highest average annual value deal at $24.5
million with his six-year, $147 million contract in December with the Dodgers.
Hernandez's withdrawal from the World Baseball Classic comes as a surprise,
as he told MLB.com last September that he intended to pitch for Venezuela,
which he also represented in the '09 Classic. Doing so would cause him to be
away from the Mariners for up to three weeks in the middle of Spring
Training, however.
Polidor told ESPNdeportes.com that Hernandez called Venezuela manager Luis
Sojo with "a lot of pain in his heart" to tell him he wouldn't be pitching in
the Classic.
"Even though it's not easy to lose your ace before starting an event, Sojo
understands that at this moment Felix is thinking about his future and his
family's future," Polidor said.
Hernandez posted a series of messages in Spanish on his Twitter account
Friday night apologizing to Venezuela's fans, but asking people to understand
and respect his decision, noting he loves his country but has to take care of
his family as well.
文章除了說到那紙合約根本不是正確的之外
也表明
Hernandez將不會參加今年的WBC 並對所有的委內瑞拉隊球迷感到抱歉
新合約進展:70%
但是 應該還是會在投捕手報到日出現 只不過走的是剩下2年的舊約
