Nice call but were you figuring in the opt outs?it’s all about the term
we all know that
Boras wants a 7 year deal
Cubs want a 3 year deal
if they both can compromise on a term somewhere in the middle , a deal at about 27 million per annum would likely get done fairly quickly .
The question is: Do you WANT him to exercise the opt out after the first year? With Boras, he would have to have a pretty lousy year not to. Even if he gives us $30M worth of production he will opt out. And if that's the case it's a win/win if PCA progressively improves one more year.
