Perez’s big payday

According to John Delcos of the Journal News, Oliver Perez and agent Scott Boras could be asking for a five-year $60 million deal at the end of this season.

MetsBlog says that Boras wants to compare Perez to Erik Bedard, and Matt Cerone wants to “laugh in Boras’ face.”

Sabernomics “doesn’t think so,” and expects something more in the $30 million range.

Not unexpected, of course, because Scott Boras is who he is. If Perez keeps playing like he has been, it’s going to be much harder for Boras to keep this kind of talk up.
