#player-extensions

This week, host Darragh McDonald is joined by Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors to discuss... Plus, we answer your questions, including... If the Blue Jays were to extend Addison Barger, would the Lawrence Butler deal be a good comp? (40:35) If a veteran signs a minor league deal, are they eligible to be taken in the Rule 5 draft? (44:50) Will the Red Sox trade Jarren Duran? (46:25)

This is a situation teams are keeping an eye on, as Pat Riley has always been cautious with giving out extensions (see Jimmy Butler's situation for details). A decision to extend or not to extend Herro will tell the tale of how the Heat view themselves in the East.

In March, the 49ers were criticized for losing 20 free agents, but their strategy was to invest in key player extensions instead of spending on new signings.

"William Eklund could earn a seven-year extension when he becomes eligible, potentially making $7.5 million annually, amounting to $52.5 million total."
