They should offer him a two year deal.
Offering a 1 year deal is less then optimal since they can't qualify him again next offseason. Maybe 15 x 2... that would sync up nicely with Donaldson, Happ, Pearce, Smoak (Blah), and Loup in terms of freed up payroll.
Gives him the chance to build up some trade value if they decide to rebuild after this year and the monetary commitment wouldn't be onerous.
