I’d be interested in seeing who we were bidding against for that amount and wouldn’t be surprised if the answer was no one. He’s on the edge of age where paying for him is questionable. Add to that that we could use a better player in his spot and I’m not so sure it’s me who doesn’t understand contracts and payrolls. His overpay is fine, if we don’t have so many bad to horrible overpays on the roster already, but that is not the case.
You're talking as if we gave him 20M a year. He would have absolutely gotten the MLE elsewhere, it's a pretty standard practice.
