Forgoing Free Agnecy and looking for a Lifetime Extension

When a MLB player's contract expires they become a "free agent" 

 

At that point they can sign with any team that desires and can afford their services. Common sense dictates that during free agency a player looks to sign a contract that offers them the most money for the longest period of time. Contract terms all vary depending on the player's age, ability, statistics, position, comparable contracts, and the overall market place. Besides the money, perhaps the next biggest stumbling point in negotiations is length of contract as the longer a deal goes the higher the risk of injury and poor/diminishing performance by the athlete. Logically teams prefer to offer shorter (1or 2 year) deals, but all the top free agents want long term commitments (5 years and beyond).

In the real world, I was once a single free agent, but 5 years ago today I signed a marriage contract

 
 
 

 
 
and I just wanted  to declare that I have no intention of going real world free agent and am looking for a lifetime service contract extension from my amazing wife - Astrid!!!!!!!!

 who is beautiful inside and out.She has been there for me in every way and I know the years ahead will only get better as we build a new team through the farm system one day.

Happy Anniversary and Holler!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
