[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 2022807, member: 746137"] No, this is a one-year deal. Just a second pillow contract. Another year like the one he had and he heads back to free agency for a much larger payday, if he regresses then the Cubs are stuck with the rest. The $80 million guarantee is less than the $105M over three years Carlos Correa got in his first Twins deal with which Boras kind of set the market for this sort of contract, so it is a win for the Cubs in that sense you could argue. It's way more than Boras got for Rhys Hoskins from the Brewers this offseason though. You'd have to imagine most players aren't very eager to be on pillow deals their whole career with all the contract year pressure and uncertainty that repeats. But when there was no market for a Bellinger superdeal it always kinda felt like where this would end up. Now we shall see what happens from here. Cubs still well under the CBT threshold. [/QUOTE]
