I get that, it's more a guy who was productive becomes quite injury prone and is never available. This is an 11 year deal...if he's injured at 30...he's collecting money for 4 years. So that's not good for teams paying a salary. I can remember a lot of 8 year deals for guys around this age.
Admit that Rendon has sort of proven that baseball was a job to him and one he didn't really love. Witt being from a baseball family likely is a bit different.
