Good deal! Not to expensive if he doesn’t work out,
Just wanted to add this post, so people can know how much we paid for Garcia
4 of the 5 years are ARB years, he was slated to make 4.8M, even with 4M raises a year, thats 45M across arbitration
Not a bad deal. Also gives an idea of what they can give Vinnie in his extension. $50 to $55 million with escalators up to $75 million. No gold glove but 97 rbis last year and 100+ this year. Should’ve been team leader last year if he didnt get hurt late.
Not a bad deal! Glad he’s locked up for the future.
Also PragerU jump scare at the bottom of the screenshot lmao
I mean in FA it’s about $9 million per 1 WAR these days. I know this is for largely ARB years, but considering that per WAR metric is likely to increase over time (unless we get a salary cap), even if this is an outlier year for Maikel’s batting capability, this is a fantastic value for his glove and what even “average” batting value is from home. Plus, good for Maikel — sets him up for another solid FA deal at 32-33 y/o if he’s still playing well.
This is a wise deal IMO
That’s an absolute STEAL!
