PrintThe following is the official press release from the Rays on deals with RHP Burke Badenhop, LHP J. P. Howell, LHP David Price and OF B. J. Upton:
RAYS AGREE TO ONE-YEAR CONTRACTS, AVOID ARBITRATION WITH BADENHOP, HOWELL, PRICE AND UPTON
ST. PETERSBURG, FL—The Tampa Bay Rays have agreed to a one-year contracts and avoided arbitration with pitchers Burke Badenhop, J.P. Howell and David Price and center fielder B.J. Upton.
Badenhop, who turns 29 on February 8, will earn $1.075 million. In 2011 he went 2-3 with a 4.10 ERA (63.2-IP, 29-ER) in 50 relief appearances for the Florida Marlins. From the time of his May 7 call-up through the end of the season, the righthander led Marlins relievers with 63.2 innings pitched. He was acquired by the Rays from the Marlins in exchange for catcher Jake Jefferies on December 12.
Howell, 28, will earn $1.35 million. The left-handed reliever returned to the Rays in 2011 after missing the entire 2010 season due to left shoulder surgery. He was reinstated from the disabled list on May 20 and then spent the rest of the season in the majors, making 46 appearances out of the bullpen and posting a 2-3 record and 6.16 ERA (30.2-IP, 21-ER). In five seasons with the Rays, he has compiled a 4.21 ERA and 279 strikeouts.
Price, 26, will earn $4.35 million. The Rays Opening Day starter in 2011 went 12-13 with a 3.49 ERA (224.1-IP, 87-ER) in a team-high 34 starts last year and earned his second All-Star selection. He ranked fifth in the AL in strikeouts (218), ninth in innings pitched (224.1) and eighth in opponents’ batting average (.230) and held lefties to a .171 average (36-for-210), lowest among major league starters. In four seasons with the Rays, he is 41-26 with a 3.38 ERA.
Upton, 27, will earn $7 million. The center fielder hit 23 home runs with 36 stolen bases last year, numbers matched by only two other major league players: the Los Angeles Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp (39-HR, 40-SB) and Boston Red Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury (32-HR, 39-SB). He is the longest-tenured member of the Rays roster, with one more day of service time than James Shields.

Price might of just helped us resign Pena
Upton…well, it’s a contract year so optimism is needed despite the high number (for the Rays)
Matt Moore. That is all.

This is great news for Rays fans. When many here had Price at $7.5mil (i said about $5)
he settles for a lot less.

Yeah good call on your part.
That deal is a steal for the Rays. Very team-friendly. I think it bodes well towards working out a long-term deal too.

This.
I think they were projecting what Lincecum earned as part of his two year deal that bought out his first two years of arb.
I'm pretty sure this is the largest discrepancy so far this year.
Matt’s model has been dead on almost every time, which makes this even crazier for me. Price could’ve gotten more, but it seems he chose to sign for less.

How likely is it that the Rays wait until the trade deadline this year to get another bat?
It’d be interesting how the options available work out. Though I’m not sure how well, Scott/Canzler, etc. would work out at first base.
This is assuming they’re smack in the thick of things up until that point though.
This has to mean one of three things:
1) Rays are really trying to acquire someone big, big enough to make Price think they are going to win this year
2) Price is going to extend with the Rays
3) Rays agreed to trade Price to a team that can extend him
Am I missing something?
I was saying he was helping them get Pena because
Pena/power bat traded for = more wins, maybe on days Prices started which then = more money for Price
Something along those lines. He helps them for 2012 and himself for 2013 and beyond.
Matt Moore. That is all.
4. Price's second-half struggles were because of some sort of injury
Had to, sorry.

trading neimann + price's discount = carlos pena
The guy is nasty on the mound when healthy and just nasty looking rest of the time. He’s nasty all year round, who wouldn’t want that?
Matt Moore. That is all.
I just don't understand the love affair with Pena.
Would you be upset if they brought in Kotch over Pena? Kotch had a better WAR than Pena last year.
Feel like having more power in the lineup.
We’ll see who ends up at 1B. The Indians and Rays both like Pena and Kotchman.
Matt Moore. That is all.
yes.
if salaries were equal (or even within a few mil) i’d prefer peña on a 1 yr deal

Notes from the Price conference call
-He kept out of the whole thing and let his agent and Friedman work out all of it
-Avoiding arbitration is a sigh of relief; loves being a Ray and is very happy
-Awesome to tie a record as a first time arb guy but knows Kershaw is going to break it quickly
-Loves the community, the clubhouse, the staff. Would love to work something out longterm but knows it is a business
-If they hit the ball to center & it’s not leaving the yard, Upton has a great chance to make a play. Thinks he could be a MVP candidate in 2012
-Loves the new additions, especially adding Luke Scott. Would love to have the 2009/2010 version of him and thinks Scott will fit in well with the team because he likes to have a good time in the dugout
-We have a good time on the field, a good time in the clubhouse, a good time on road trips. People want to be here
-No plans for any new toys outside of getting Astro something nice
I'm not a fanboy, I'm an awesome dude
Good stuff.
Upton MVP candidate though? That’s interesting.

We get it, you want a long term deal. We want a long term deal. Lower that asking price.
Matt Moore. That is all.
with $4.35MM as an arb1 salary
it’s pretty easy to plug in a long-term deal that replaces his 2012 salary with $5MM, another modest signing bonus, then three more arb years at 7, 9, and 11, plus one or two option years at 14, plus modest buyouts.
So that’d be 4 years/32MM guaranteed with a max of 6 years/60MM. That should be doable.

I'm going to make this point again
From 2009 to 2011 vs RHP (since we can all agree Pena can’t hit lefties)
Pena: .369 wOBA; 130 wRC+
Betemit: .364 wOBA; 126 wRC+
Is Betemit’s offensive value enough to tip the scale that Friedman has referred to when trying to find a bat? If not, why not go get both? Detroit could now bring him back since he hit well for them after the trade but now that the Pena market has opened up with at least another team, time to look at other options just in case.
