Nolan Arenado to sign extension with the Rockies

So are we all in agreement that this proves the Sox offer to Machado was not market value?

Arenado got $10 million more in guaranteed money than the Sox offer to Machado and Arenado only had the option to negotiate with one team.  If he hits free agency, he likely gets more than $260 million from some team.

The Sox need to nut up and sign Harper to make up for their embarrassing Machado negotiations.

But arguably most valuable to that franchise, right?

Who cares?  More than one team is always better for negotiating?  Just like job offers.

Well, in the end, the MLBPA can't force every single player into free agency.  They're getting some nice baselines set here by Machado, Harper and Arenado.

Arenado's obviously content with the Rockies and feels at home there, no need to go through that process (and there's certainly a good chance if COL isn't competitive that he does elect free agency when the opt out year kicks in...)
