Here's an article trying to set the price on keeping EE beyond this season

Is 2/$16m too rich. How about 3/$20m with the third year being only partially guaranteed?

According to Fangraphs, he was worth $6.6M last year in 134 games and is on pace for $17M+ this season. Those things are always rough guidelines, but I think they'd have a hard time locking him up for 2/16. I'd definitely be happy to keep him for 3/20. He can DH and play 1B and we don't have anybody else for those positions. And it's not looking like they're gonna go out and pay for somebody that's better than E5 anyway.

2/16M is not too rich. Agents are well aware of fangraphs "deserved" salaries and will play them in contract negotiations. Edwin is likely going to end up with close to 7 figures annually. Statistically he is one of the best DH's in the league. He is just behind A-Rod and well ahead of Michael Young, Jesus Montero, and Luke Scott (more than double the fWAR).

Being top 5 in the AL at your position and the age and position flexibility he has, he could burn us in FA.
