U.S-. George Springer He is still one of the most experienced hitters and with the highest billing within the free agency. But, things seem not to advance in their negotiations. As has happened with the great players available, it seems that they will not be signed soon. Although, it would already be clear which would be their best destinations.
Deesha Thosar, a journalist for the New York Daily News, reported that the Blue Jays de Toronto and the New York Mets they are the finalist clubs to hire him. In addition, he pointed out that the signing of George Springer is not expected to arrive in these final days, so it will be in January. Although many teams need a center fielder of their quality, only these two teams would be willing to meet their expectations.
In this regard, Andy Martino, a journalist for SNY, published that George Springer’s intention is to receive at least 150 million dollars in guaranteed money. In addition, he confirmed that the conversations with the player intensify during the month of January. If his contract is fulfilled, he could end up as the highest-paid position player in free agency.

Who Has the Bargain Advantage by George Springer
On which team is closer to hiring him, Martino detailed the points of each of them. In the case of the Mets, to sign George Springer he would have to approach the luxury tax threshold by greatly increasing his payroll. But, given the need to strengthen their team, they would be interested in reaching an agreement. In addition, various rumors indicate that his main objective is to obtain Springer.
Regarding the Blue Jays, they have a better management of their finances, so I would have no problem in granting him his desired contract. In a first idea, your salary could be 25 million dollars per year on a six-year contract. Or, they could raise it to 30 million for a period of five years. Their only problem is that such a firm would leave them with less scope to hire JT Realmuto or DJ LeMahieu, who are also targets of the organization.
