    Freddie's not going anywhere. It would be a massive wet blanket for the fan base after the WS title, and the front office knows it. They'll pay up.

    Bingo. And with the DH most likely coming to the NL, you can maximize his longer term potential by moving him there if you need to.

    6 years is t bad either. Not like we are taking him to age 40. That gets him to 38. Probably start to see some diminishing returns after 2-3 years. But for 33 million a year you keep the cornerstone of your franchise for the last decade.

    It's one of those things you have to do. Plus we've got Ozzie and Acuna locked up for that length of time. So we've got a core to build with for that time.

    If it takes 6 years at 190-200 you do it.
