Title: Reds extend Butler
Post by: Dan Wood on July 26, 2011, 05:29:08 PM

The Reds would like to extend Billy Butler until the 2017 season - 11.5m (2017)
Current contracts is CI Butler, Billy, $9m (2012)
Current value between 2010/2011 - CI-18 $11.5m (Butler, Billy)

Huge gamble on my part since he has only shown flashes, but I still believe he will be one of the game's elite bats.

Contract can't go to 2017.  It has to end in 2016.  See rule below.

Let's say his existing contract is $5m (2012).  The minimum years for a $12m deal is 3 years and the max is 5 years.  The overall max term limit of a contract is five years after the current year.  Lofton can be given a 4-year $36m extension starting in 2013, so he will be paid $5m in 2011, $5m in 2012, $12m in 2013, $12m in 2014, $12m in 2015, and $12m in 2016.
