Ryan Braun's agent has had preliminary talks with Surfs general manager Jim Bessinger regarding a contract for the 24-year-old.
"It's certainly something I am open to, but I honestly haven't thought about it too much yet," Braun said. "I'm definitely not opposed to considering whatever they have to say." Braun would probably want a deal similar to the six-year, $31 million pact signed by Rookie of the Year runnerup Troy Tulowitzki. However, the Surf might not be willing to go that far. There's one key difference between the two. Tulo, having been up for all of 2007, was five years away from free agency, while Braun still has six to go.
