6-7 years to reach sustained success is complete asinine, when rookies only need 6 years of service time to reach free agency
So what, all the call ups coming like Montgomery, Thorpe, Schultz will also be gone or on their final arbitration year when they reach this so called window? That would mean there is no sustained success at that point.
Extending Crochet is a no brainer. 4 years guaranteed at a fair amount (none of the club option bullshit) is something I'm sure Crochet would consider. Start this contenting window in 2026.
