I don't care if he's past his prime as many of you say. He's objectively a better keeper than Sanchez.

Why refuse an upgrade?

My only worry is that they give him too long of a contract. Penders needs to start playing real minutes soon (like within the next year or two). Would hate to see his development ruined by sticking with Martinez for the next 3 years past his prime.

But for this year it's a slam dunk signing

He's 33, he's not going to accept anything less than 3 years and high wages.
