    I don't think Brandon Crawford has any value. He's 32. He's always been defense first and his defense has been in decline. Now he's below average at the plate, maybe very below average at the plate. And he's owed 15m in 2020 and 2021.

    Posey is basically profiling as a 2.5 win player WITH the defensive metrics figured in. I think he's a perfectly useable player, but who is excited about paying him 22m in 2020 and 2021?

    Belt basically gives you Nick Markakis-esque production at 1B/OF at age 31. He's owed 16m in 2020 and 20201. Useful player perhaps. Going to fetch a big return? Probably not.

    Bumgarner gives you a half year or control for a guy performing like a #4 starter. He could help any number of teams's rotations, but the idea there is going to be a bidding war or big return is probably wrong in my view.

    Samardja is owed 18m next year. His fWar is actually negative because his ERA is wildly out of whack with his FIP. Which is more consistent with his recent career. Would some team like him on the back end of it's rotation down the stretch? Perhaps. Is any team going to give up a ton for it? No, and the Giants probably have to send money.
