I mentioned something akin to a Longoria-like deal around the time he was called up last season, and think the just-signed Tim Anderson deal provides a pretty nice blueprint. I don't think that anyone doubts Dansby's the better player, and given his additional drawing power as the hometown kid, the brass would probably be wise to go a little further in having him as one of the faces of the franchise. Yes, he's still a bit "wet behind the ears" for a lot of people's tastes, but I don't think you miss the opportunity to lock him up now - if you can. Like Longoria, Swanson's floor is so high that you're still likely to receive pretty good value even in his down years, and the good seasons make you look like you're robbing him blind.
Anderson's deal was for 6 years and $25 million with two club options. Given the direction the dollars should be going with the new park opening, wouldn't now be the perfect time to offer something in the range of 7 years and $39.2 million with three club options?
2017 - $950,000
2018 - $1,200,000
2019 - $1,800,000
2020 - $4,500,000
2021 - $7,750,000
2022 - $10,000,000
2023 - $13,000,000 (Age 29 season)
2024 - $15,000,000 (Team Option - $2 million buyout)
2025 - $17,000,000 (Team Option - $3 million buyout)
2026 - $19,000,000 (Team Option - $3 million buyout)
If he bites, that gives you a great starting point to use when trying to lockdown Albies, Acuna, and Maitan in future seasons.
