I agree with your idea that Klay isn't as good as he once was. But I think he's still a very good player, and would be a good get at the right price.

To me that "right price" is in the vicinity of what SH posted earlier --- a starting salary in the low 20's (or less), with very limited (or no) draft capital, and I can live with the Green-Kleber package he proposed. Given his age and injury history, I would look for a 3+1 (TO) structure, to offset some of the risk.

That's an insanely expensive contract for Klay at this point in his career. It's a move I would attribute such an imbecilic move from the old regime, not the current.
