April 11, 20197 yr This is the worst contract of all time from a player's perspective. Agreed. I thought it'd be far more when I first heard he signed an extension.
April 11, 20197 yr Agreed. I thought it'd be far more when I first heard he signed an extension. Albies has the upside to get $35 million PER SEASON by the second half of this deal. The Barves took him for a ride and he jumped on without a seatbelt and was ejected through the windshield Adaptation-style.
April 11, 20197 yr Albies has the upside to get $35 million PER SEASON by the second half of this deal. The Barves took him for a ride and he jumped on without a seatbelt and was ejected through the windshield Adaptation-style. From MLBTR: announcing a contract extension with second baseman Ozzie Albies that’ll guarantee the 22-year-old a total of $35MM from 2019-25. The contract includes a pair of club options reportedly valued at $7MM apiece, each of which has a $4MM buyout. No man.....it's 35M TOTAL. with 2 7M options at the back end to make it possibly a total 9 year 45M max.
April 11, 20197 yr Author I can see a player taking it as life changing money and not considering the potential future lost income, but how can an agent not talk him out of it?

April 11, 20197 yr I mean I get the deal to an extent. Its what you see with so many Latin players especially. But fuck this deal is BAD. The option years are staggeringly bad. wow. the 7/35 is pretty awful, the 2 extra years makes it a fucking robbery.
