Eddy Julio Martinez Not Signing With Giants; Seeks $3MM Deal

Kiley McDaniel Prospects Chat – 10/6/15 | FanGraphs Baseball

From what I was told, Martinez had three teams that offered at least $7 million, with a good shot of $10-11 million coming. Then, the agent got greedy (was then fired), teams moved on, the market was reset at $5 million or less by the new agent and teams came back, the new agent opted to take the now money, rather than wait and maybe get a few million more.

After the deal was set with the Giants, the kid appears to have walked away, attempting to leverage the published 2.5M for a better deal.

Looks like this kid is going to be a handful to deal with moving forward. Good luck to whoever ends up signing him.
