MLB contracts are out of control. I wouldn’t guarantee ANYONE more than 5-6 years(including Betts and Trout). Those long-term deals never look good for the last 3-4 years.
How do you think Cole and Stanton will look for the last few years of their deals when they are still combining to make $60m/year?
That’s what it’s about now
if Cole and Stanton win a title or 2, that contract becomes worth it, these teams sign these long term deals knowing the backend of these deals will be ugly
when the Mets give Lindor 12 years, there is no way they do so thinking a speedster will be worth the money past 35 years old
