There is recent news of Marlon Byrd signing a 2 year $16M contract or $8M/year. As MLB contracts go that’s pretty cheap for a player who had a year like Byrd in 2013. According to this data model Byrd had his best year in 2013. Can he repeat? That’s a $16M question and the Phillies just ponied up the wager.
Marlon Byrd parlayed a comeback season with the Pirates and New York Mets into a two-year contract agreement with the Philadelphia Phillies, a source with knowledge of the situation said Tuesday.
The deal is pending a physical. ESPNNewYork.com reported that the contract will be worth $16 million. Philadelphia’s Sportsradio94 WIP first reported the agreement.
