Quote:Hurns is making $510,000, the minimum this year for a 2nd year player. He's also counting 1/3rd of his original $5000 signing bonus. He's sure to sign a nice extension this offseason.


 

Robinson's base salary isn't much more at $580,000, however he's also counting 1/4 of an original signing bonus worth just over $870,000. Next year ARob will have a $740,000 base salary, and then he'll likely sign an extension in the 2017 offseason.

Can Hurns even be extended this offseason?

 

Even if he can, no way would I extend him before Robinson. That's just setting the table for Robinson to want more than Hurns next year, who will within a couple of years feel that he's underpaid by comparison and want a new contract that pays him more than A-Rob. Do both deals at the same time.
