Bautista's WAR is 6.6 right now, which is providing nearly 30 million in value (29.7)

so for his 65 million dollar contract he only needs to provide another 7.85 WAR over the remaining portion of the contract, and for the final club option year, he'd only have to provide 3.11 WAR to be worth it then.

Considering he has 4.5 years to get 7.85 war, I think it's a bargain. Especially with how he'll probably get 2.5+ WAR the rest of the way if he slows down a lot or upwards of 5 if he keeps up his pace.
