Grandal already turned down 4/60 in favor of 1/18, telling me he values a high AAV. I would be in favor of AA going as high as required to get him on a 1-2 year deal.

He misread the market like many other FAs last year. He probably just took the highest 1 year deal after the Mets offer was no longer on the table. It was only late December when he turned it down. I'd be surprised if he accepted another 1 year deal unless it was over 20 million.

I'd go over 20M/year on a one or two year deal to Grandal.

Except he literally is quoted as saying he was looking for elite catcher pay levels of Mac and Martin. Mac had an AAV of $17M when he was elite.

Since nobody is going to give him 3+ years at $18M+, AA hopefully get him for something like 1/20.
