Andrus got 120 mil. Odor got less than half. I understand its life changing money and they have family to take care of but these guys are losing money on the back end of these deals. MLBPA needs to try to change the system so that less guys sign pre-arb deal

What does Andrus have to do with Odor? They were in two completely different situations regarding service time... and it's not remotely close.

Odor will also enter free agency while in his prime. This isn't one of those Andrew McCutchen type raw deals either given his age. Win win for everyone here. There are "experts" who feel the Rangers should not have done this given the flaws in Odor's game that may or may not catch up to him.

It's a security trade off. Security against injury and security against the player not improving. Odor needs to be a lot better before he gets a contract in free agency was a lot more than this.
look at Singleton: minor-league production with a major league salary.
