However, that doesn’t change the fact that the Braves got tremendous value with the inclusion of those options, and it has nothing to do with not going year to year.
Fair on lunacy. That's not how these things work.

My thought was it locks them in on a low number and gets them money up front. If you go by 7-8 million per WAR then that is a deal.

That said, I have read your posts are recognize that the team control and system do not focus on these player as $/War or as FA. There is a structure to these things I'm violating with proposals.


I'm the crazy one. I'd still rather pay Acuna 10 million this year and avoid paying 20 million in another year.
