Not as bad as I was expecting as I figured Kopech would be involved. I just hate the idea of moving Vaughn and not having a bat in the system of his caliber to replace Cruz or Abreu eventually.
Yup...adding a higher end starter would probably be the more prudent move financially, but I won’t be complaining if they want to stack an already strong with another elite hitter.
These extensions are all about risk mitigation. If a player wants to maximize his earnings, then an early extension is probably not the way to go. But that isn’t the agent’s call and who is anyone to tell Giolito or Moncada they are stupid for wanting to hedge their bets and lock up a fuckton of money.
