Jeff, do you have any concerns about how Alonso will age across a longer-term deal? I'm a big fan of the polar bear but his player type/skillset tends to age very poorly after age 30.

My 2 cents: Sign Pete to a 5 year deal - max. If his agent wants 7 or more, I think you need to let him walk.
Then again, what does the money mean to the owner anyway. . . . . . |

But the market is what it is and these players will get long term top dollar contracts. He is a career .253 average(this year trainwreck) but as discussed previously he is consistently hitting for power and has put up monster numbers in that time. IF they want to keep him it will probably be a 7 year contract(I hope only 5) and if they do not pay him someone will those years

I can get on board with five years, although I think 4 would be perfect. The back end of a 7 year contract will not be pretty!

Somebody will offer Alonso a 7-10 year contract, He will take it...and year 5 through 10 (I'm being optimistic here) fans will be upset at the player, for not aging unnaturally, instead of at the owner and the general manager for giving him that contract to begin with.

What are the most recent comps for 7-10 year contracts for first basemen? Even Freddie Freeman's deal in LA isn't that long. (And we all know he's a far better player than Pete)
