Right?
Like, you were still able to move it.
And when you think about a lot of
deals once you get past contract extensions when you get to free agency etc a lot of these deals are hard to move right when you talk about guys that sign the 10 for 300 10 for 350 10 for 400 it's really hard to move a deal like that because teams are like i don't really want to take on bad money at the end when that guy's 36 37 38 and shinsu chu ring a bell
And he's a sub 700 OPS and we have to think about eating this money.
I don't necessarily want that.
But when you're talking about like a Fernando Tatis Jr.
type of deal where it's 341 over, I believe that one was 13 years when he signed it and looked like,
Great value for both sides at the time.
That deal is movable.
But when you talk about on the same roster, Manny Machado, right?
If the Padres, for whatever reason, want to say, hey, we want to move Manny Machado, it'd probably be really hard to move him at 350 over 10 or what that value is now prorated.
14, 340.
So, yeah, I think the age plays a big role here.
And I think the Cubs, you're paying for the prime years.
I think a lot of times that's what teams are thinking about.
Can we pay for the prime years or entering the prime years, save some money in terms of the arbitration years and those free agency years?
Every team needs that guy.
Like the...
budding personality walks into the room and everybody's just like, oh, that's a dude, right?
