Not old, but not like he's getting to FA under 30. Also he got "crushed" on his first deal based on his production - 6/$36m with low options. Stuff of dreams right there for a franchise. I think it's smart for him to cash out with the FUCK YOU money right now even if there is a little more later. He hasn't gotten "paid" yet like some other guys - like Trea Turner has effectively made the same amount of money give or take $2m bucks with 2 full seasons less of service time. That's a big delta for a superstar. Better example. Before this deal SANDY(!) has more guaranteed money than Ramirez. Sandy! He's great but not Jose Ramirez great. Anyways I am here for one reason - you trade anything to get a superstar as it is impossible to get them as their teams just extend them. Pitt can drop a 6/$75 or 7/$100 or 8/$125 today for B. Reynolds and we'd all be like.... yea that checks out.
