re: ATL Thread | offseason hot takes + discussion

Think part of that money is a GM thinking there is an over correction coming with the shift gone, so he went after one of the game’s best gloves

Just dropping in to say that Dansby isn’t elite and it’s hilarious he’s getting paid $25MM+ AAV for 7 years. Jesus.

I agree. But $25MM is beginning to not look like a huge MLB salary. There are 16 players make $30MM+ AAV and 31 players making $25MM+ AAV. By the end of the contract 7 years from now $25MM will seem even less.

I’m not advocating paying Swanson $25MM because I think that’s probably not a wise choice. Im just noting how big the numbers have gotten in the MLB and that our (MLB fans in general) perception of these numbers is lagging behind reality.
