Edwin Jackson turned down three-year offer from Pirates

When you have the chance to play with Ian Desmond and Roger Bernardina…

Last week when Edwin Jackson agreed to a one-year, $11 million deal with the Nationals there were several reports that he turned down multi-year offers elsewhere.

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com now has at least one of those offers pegged, reporting that Jackson said no to a three-year proposal from the Pirates believed to be worth around $30 million.

ISTR the Pirates had the choice of offering a long-term high-dollar contract to either Andy Van Slyke after the 1991 season or Barry Bonds after the 1992 season.

They chose Van Slyke.


There are probably lots of reasons they chose Van Slyke, but let's not forget that Bonds had a choice in the matter as well. He complained about Van Slyke's contract a lot, but given the Pirates organization's perception of Bonds' attitude at that point, there was no reason to believe that if they passed on AVS, that Bonds would have accepted their offer.
