I think if it gets to $300, it's 12 years, probably closer to $315-320.
9/$253 and 10/$276 really work conceptually for me based on a ton of factors and past deals. Dumping two more on there at $20ish a pop kind of makes fiscal "sense."
Saying that, would be SHOCKED if Loria dishes out the largest contract of all time.
Because I mean, then he has to deal with Yelich, Alvarez, Fernandez, buy a SP, trade out Salty/Jones/Dunn/Eovaldi/Baker/Cishek for young guys to build with Stanton and go for it right?
--------------------
i.e., it's not just the bucks to Stanton, it's the bucks going to everyone else as why they paying him to not go for it?
--------------------
Would have to be that range, because let's assume 5 years from now Yelich is making $"12"ish on an arbitration buyout deal, and Fernandez is around the same. If Stanton is roughly $30, you're talking an easy $50+ million for the 3 big guys. Let's say $52 for obvious reason to follow. Throw in 15 club controlled guys $8 million total, and you're at 18 guys for $60 million, and if the other 7 are a variation of early arbitration (Alvarez, Eovaldi types), free agents like Jones, a Salty, Baker, and Dunn, that lot of 7 guys is easily going to cost another $25-40 depending on pedigree.
So yea, signing him means they have to roll out $90 million salaries once Stanton escalates and the 2nd and 3rd guys on the team become expensive in 3 years.
In case anyone is wondering, $90 million is still bottom 10 in baseball, but a respectable number the Mariners, Royals, and White Sox all spent this year.
