CL Fruto
3B Asai

[Providence A's]

CL Fruto - $6.24 mil x 1
3B Asai - in prime, test market, offer?

[Porter]

Sign Fruto.
4.5 over 3 for Asai.

[Providence A's]

Fruto - signed for $5 mil x 1
Asai - I want more years! Slowly, I'm getting impatient.

[Porter]

5 over 5

[Providence A's]

Asai - amount of $ not enough! I'm pretty close to breaking off negotiations.

[Porter]

3B Asai

[Providence A's]

3B Asai - same as when you first asked me.

[Porter]

5.75 over 5

[Providence A's]

3B Asai - Your chance is gone! I will play elsewhere next year.

[Porter]

well to AAA he goes for a sim (how many days are left in the year)

[Providence A's]

I don't think you need to do that in this case. He has 104 service days this year and needs 69 to become a FA. There are only 172 in a year. 104 + 69 is 173. I don't think it's possible for him to become a FA this year. He's only had arby twice:

1/31/2023: Gets a new one-year contract worth $2,535,714 through salary arbitration...
1/31/2024: Gets a new one-year contract worth $2,800,000 through salary arbitration...

[Porter]

ill just wait until the last regular season sim. its pretty close. if i remember right, i started him as soon as i got him.

[Providence A's]

Do what you want, but as I said there are 172 service days and it's not possible for a player to reach 173 in a year.

[Porter]

Does he still take offers?

If he does offer him 7 over 4
