@charlieo_conn It’s really simple at this point, if Verbeek handled business professionally than he never reaches RFA status
I hope this does usher in the Wild West era of offer sheets, because it will be a new edge for good GMs
@JeffSi5000@ADiMarco25 I’m not critiquing them, but it is a choice they are making rather than a given.
They could also be trading these players in pursuit of big fish, but aren’t because they believe a deep roster of good-very good can beat shallow elite (as they keep citing the 2019 Blues).
@ADiMarco25 Painful to see people continue to focus on AAV instead of % of cap.
Drysdale would have to be making $8.5M AAV at the new deal start to match Sanheim’s % of the cap when his deal started.
If anything, I’d want them to go longer if they could get him in the $6M range
