Very small contract, plenty rookie scale deals will be in that range financially over the next years. I can’t say I’m overly euphoric about Hardy as a prospect but it’s hard to complain value-wise. Hardy is still only 22, even if things don’t work out here he’ll get a few more chances elsewhere I’d imagine.
The extension should provide very limited downside but if he pans out they would have a rotation guy locked up for essentially four more years. Smart move Imo.
It’s a bit unfortunate that they weren’t able to get a deal for Grimes. Timing-wise (coming off a rough season with of injuries) that might have been a decent chance to lock him up to a team-friendly longterm deal but it wasn’t in the cards. Hopefully they’ll be able to use his RFA status next summer to their advantage.
