Dear Brett Anderson,
The Florida Marlins love you to death. We wish you to stay with us, especially when we traded Hamels and Johnson to get you, Weeks, and Hunter. We see you are friends with Brad Hand on our team, and we have him projected to follow you in the rotation within the next couple years. We also know you would be an ace on many teams, but Hunter is the ace, and has performed well as it even though he currently has no wins. Now you are only 24, and have at least 2 more years of arbitration, so we would like to offer you a 6 year contract, leaving you the option to go to free agency at age 30 if you so choose. We know Florida can give you a nice home even though our budget is so low. As well being -5 greed, although being a Scott Boras client we wish to offer you a fair deal.
The contract we offer is 6 years 42 million.
