dc. Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Six years/64m. Amazing move and deal for the O's! Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 I hate to say poor guy anytime someone receives $64 million, but poor Nick for having to lose for the next six years. Quote
ForceEight Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Almost $11m a year. Very nice, Nick. Glad you're not going anywhere for awhile. Quote
cmacarolle21 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 He's getting around the same deal that Youklis got except with 2 extra years. I like it. Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/basebal...0,5464895.story Done deal pending physical. Knowing Angelos, that is going to be one hell of a physical for the second largest contract in Orioles history. Quote

ForceEight Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 What was the biggest, Belle? Really got fucked on that one. It's the third largest. Belle and Tejada got bigger deals. Quote
83eh01 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I hate to say poor guy anytime someone receives $64 million, but poor Nick for having to lose for the next six years. Well I'm putting a lot of faith in Tillman, Matusz, and Arrieta We really need all three to pan out to have any kind of chance. Quote
thundercleetz Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 What was the biggest, Belle? Really got fucked on that one. Oh yeah, big time. Belle got paid $39 million over three years to sit on his butt to do absolutely nothing. Angelos has been a stickler for physicals ever since. I have heard of patients losing their manhood leaving an Angelos-administered physical. It's the third largest. Belle and Tejada got bigger deals. Belle got $65 million over five years, Markakis got $66 million over six years. Depends how you look at it I guess. I was just going by what The Sun said (usually not a good idea ). Quote
dc. Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Well, Angelos' anger over the Belle deal is mostly bullshit anyway... Belle's contract was insured and the insurance, not the O's, paid most of his contract. But it still scared Pete shitless. Meanwhile, it's kind of sad that a 10-11m/year deal is the second richest in club history... Regardless, glad to have Nick here and off the trade table for a long time. Quote

I was just going by what The Sun said (usually not a good idea ). :lol: Yeah, I was just going by the yearly salary that Angelos has to fork out. Either way (like DC half-mentioned), it's both an impressive and sad deal. Nick Markakis is now the second/third highest player in the history of our franchise... Quote
