I think you also have some bias against Vlad in that you just don't like the player.

Vlad will be 26 at the start of the season, and generally that's the start of a MLB players prime, especially when it comes to consistency.

The deal to me is actually not that hard to figure out what it would need to look like for him to sign.

AAV: $41-$45M.
Term: 10-12 years.

I think if it's 12 years then you could see the lower AAV: So 12 x $500 = $41.6M AAV

If it's 10 years only then it's probably the higher AAV: So 10 x $450 = $45.0M AAV

Big thing with all these deals...is there is likely an opt out anyways.

Soto has an Opt-Out at 31 after 5 years of the deal, Vlad would likely get the same thing after 4-5 years. And with the way MLB salaries are going they likely opt out at that time while still in the middle of their prime.

Issue is Jays should have had this done before Judge and Soto re-signed.
