Twins Extend Glen Perkins

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/twins-extend-glen-perkins.html

The Twins announced that they have signed All-Star closer Glen Perkins to a
new, four-year contract extension that runs through the 2017 season.
Minnesota has now promised Perkins $22.175MM in total, including $14.1375MM
in new money.

Perkins will earn $4.025MM in 2014, $4.65MM in 2015, $6.3MM in 2016 and
$6.5MM in 2017. The contract contains a club option for the 2018 campaign
that is also worth $6.5MM and comes with a $700K buyout. If Perkins is dealt,
the 2018 term becomes a player option. He also receives a three-team no-trade
clause.

By restructuring and extending Perkins' contract, the Twins have added an
additional two years of team control. Perkins' extension overwrites his
previous deal -- a three-year, $10.3MM extension signed prior to the 2012
campaign that included a $4.5MM option for 2016. Under his old contract, the
Minnesota native and Relativity Baseball client was set to earn $3.9875MM
this coming season (after the original base salary was bumped up by
performance escalators). The escalator and performance incentive provisions
of the old contract are not a part of the new deal.

Perkins, 31, had previously been guaranteed $7.8MM over the next two seasons,
and that figure now jumps to $8.675MM. Essentially, he receives a raise of
$875K over his remaining guaranteed seasons, and the Twins pick up extra two
guaranteed years at $13.5MM total, including the buyout on the 2018 option.

Over the past three seasons, the former first-round pick and Minnesota Golden
Gopher has pitched to a sterling 2.45 ERA with 10.2 K/9, 2.4 BB/9 and a 43
percent ground-ball rate. He made his first All-Star team last season and has
saved 52 games for the Twins since taking over as the team's full-time closer
midway through the 2012 season. ERA estimators FIP (2.71), xFIP (2.90) and
SIERA (2.51) all agree that his skill-set over the past three years has been
that of a sub-3.00 ERA pitcher.

From his standpoint, it's not hard to see why Perkins would be interested in
guaranteeing himself financial stability through at least the 2017 season;
relievers are rarely extended in the first place -- particularly when they're
at least two years away from free agency. Indeed, Darren Wolfson of 1500 ESPN
reports (via Twitter) that Perkins approached the Twins about working out a
new deal.

On the other hand, the Twins effectively secure a pitcher who has emerged as
one of the game's best late-inning relievers for a price that likely would
have been inflated on the open market. This winter, situational left-handers
such as Boone Logan and Javier Lopez signed contracts that guarantee them
$16.5MM and $13MM, respectively, over three seasons. Were he to have hit free
agency with the capability to neutralize both right- and left-handed batters
and also with a good deal of closing experience, Perkins' open-market value
would likely have exceeded those deals.

However, with two guaranteed years and an option remaining, there was quite a
bit that could have gone wrong in the meantime, and Perkins clearly
prioritized financial security and the allure of pitching in his home state.
This could be a win-win extension, should Perkins continue on his current
trajectory, as he would receive an abnormal amount of security for a reliever
at a rate that he potentially could have topped on the open market.
