Who cares what the early numbers are being reported as. All that matters is the final number the contract is signed for, and I'm confident that it will get done at a number that makes everyone happy.

This. Treliving has proved over and over that he can do whatever the hell he wants. Brodie & Frolik under 4.6mil when both were rumored to have been north of 5+. Hamilon for 5.75 when everyone would have been happy with 7.
I think Treliving has everyone on board that we have a good thing going with this team and we're going to need 'discounts' from everyone so there is room to fit everyone in.
Call me optimistic, but I honestly think Gio will sign for less then 7mil/yr.
