I was pretty convinced until rather late in the season that he'd be able to get a 3 year MLE somewhere and would easily give up $2mm in 2021 to guarantee the additional $18mm.
Now, we need to figure out what, if any, team has a need for 1. an expiring JRich, 2. a need to make Bill Duffy happy, 3. has someone more highly paid than JRich that we might find useful, or 4. has a FA that they would rather not pay and would take some combo or players back that includes JRich.
