Someone in the conversation asked earnestly “what would it take for Toronto to re-sign Vlad, Jr.? 8 years/$225M?” And I have to ask myself:
1) where did they come up with that particular number, because it’s a weird AAV like $28.125M per season and
2) was this person projecting a sum of money that they would consider too great to turn down or did they see it as being frugal to keep the Blue Jays options open to fund their entire roster?
Because 8 years/$225M is shockingly low for Vlad, Jr. in years and dollars.
I’m not a fan of his and I don’t want my team to sign him, but he just turned down $340M and I think he won’t sign for less than 10 years/$400M and might like 14 years. $590M or more.
How did this person come up with 8 years/$225M in any situation*!?
