Newsbreakers

November 6, 2009

The Diamondbacks have exercised Brandon Webb's $8.5 million 2010 option, according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com.

Our View:

The team was widely expected to do so despite Webb throwing all of four innings in 2009 because of a shoulder injury. He is a great buy-low candidate for next season.

October 16, 2009

The Arizona Republic is reporting that starting pitcher Brandon Webb does not want to talk extension with the Diamondbacks. Webb said he wants to remain with the team past next season, but he is hoping that a healthy 2010 campaign will boost his value.

Our View:

The team seems very likely to exercise his 2010 option, but he will wait until after next season to make a decision on his future. His value will never be lower than it is right now, so this looks like a good business move for Webb.

September 22, 2009

According to the East Valley Tribune, Brandon Webb says that he will not take a pay cut to stay in Arizona.

Our View:

The D-Backs are hesitant to pick up Webb's $8.5 million option for next season due to his shoulder surgery in August, but were hoping he would give them a hometown discount and sign an incentive-laden deal for 2010. He is not interested. The ace would rather test the market and see what's out there than to take a pay cut and stay in the desert. If the D-Backs want to keep him next year they'll have to pick up his option. Can you blame him for wanting his paycheck and a chance to play with a winning club?

September 18, 2009

The Diamondbacks will reportedly try to work out a deal with Brandon Webb rather than pick up his $8.5MM option for 2010, according to Jon Heyman's (Sports Illustrated) twitter page.

Our View:

Webb is an elite pitcher, but the Diamondbacks are hesitant to pick up his option, as he underwent debridlement surgery on his shoulder in early August.

September 14, 2009

Updating an earlier report, Bob Nightengale (USA Today) tweeted that the Diamondbacks do not intend to pick up Brandon Webb's $8.5MM option for 2010.

Our View:

Nightengale believes the club will try to negotiate a one-year deal with the ace hurler though. Buster Olney of ESPN believes Arizona will try to exercise the option if they believe Webb is making steady progress in his recovery from shoulder surgery. Stay tuned for further developments.
