He is normal Jazz completely. And imagine him getting into a better lineup and/or home park. Sanchez is over an .800 OPS vs RHP and doing his normal thing. He has a 2.2 WAR his last 666 PA (from May 1, 2023 to get a full season of PA).
These guys are good players and normal franchises would keep them where Jazz may make 2/$13-15 next two years and Sanchez the same over three years, 3/$13-15. That is insane value for guys pacing over 2+ WAR a full season, and Jazz will likely do a little more than that. I'll say it again, Joc Pederson who has a 2.6 WAR his last 700+ PA is making $12.5m this season alone. There is immense value in having these guys around after a 2024 playoff run as they are pretty good and cheap.
