The point that you, and a lot of other people, don't grasp is underperforming in the latter years of contract can be justified by overperforming in the early years of a contract.
For example, Scherzer has accounted for 46% of the WAR the Nats "paid for" through 29% of his contract.
Exactly. And their is no point in front loading the contract to better match the production due to the time value of money.
