10 years / $300MM now or 10 years / $350MM in 2 years?

You generally don't let Top 5 players leave in free agency if you can help it.

According to dollars spent per WAR, you'd be getting 200% value on Baez at $30MM a year. DO IT. Perennial MVP candidate.

They have no money, remember?

They probably can't extend Baez until the last year of Lester's contract. But then they will only have Darvish and Quintana.

Still, if Baez can replicate last year for the first 100 games of 2019, Ricketts has to think about extending Baez.

Hope I'm wrong, but if ever there was a player due for a regression, it's Baez.

The guy was the runner up for the MVP last year and you still can't admit you were dead wrong about him.

You're 2 years late, I started a Baez thread . I still wouldn't lock him up for 10-300

Nor would I. But 5-6 years for 100-140 million would be my initial offer.
