Meh. The problem isn’t that our highest paid free agent is Benintendi per se. It’s that the highest paid free dollar amount is only $75M. Should be someone else higher than that amount in the year 2022 for a major market team. Contract overall is fine.
They don’t have to deal young players with EE or McCann if they are taking back bad money. But that’s not Liam. If they’re dealing either of those 2 and getting back Liam, they’re dealing a young player or two.
Maybe, but if we are dealing Hendriks and receiving Chisholm (I assume this is what you mean), I don't see how we don't send someone else out from our minors in this deal.
