It could be that Wright quoted a higher price to the Twins. Maybe 7.5 or 8 mil. I'm assuming that would reflect a preference to sign with the Braves over the Twins. So in signing Lewis for 6.7, the Twins could well have saved a million or so. Makes sense if they valued Lewis and Wright about the same.
