To me Vlad has a higher ceiling than Bo but both are stars. There have to be limits to what you pay them though. They can’t just demand x and expect management to give in. I don’t think the Jays should go above 7 years for either. To think that they’re worth $50 per season is crazy. Soto and Ohtani were overpaid, period. I don’t blame them for trying but to lock those guys up for that length of time at that price isn’t worth it. I’m on the record as an Atkins hater, but putting biases aside, there have to be values on each player. Great someone will pay his price but glad it won’t be here. Fans understand. As long as there’s hope and a compelling story fans will show. There’s no other summer sport like it. They’ll be fine as long as they get good value. I’m still thinking some more attempts will be made eventually.
