Andres Gimenez projection = 3.1 fWAR
Contract:
2025 age 26 $10,571,429
2026 age 27 $15,571,428
2027 age 28 $23,571,429
2028 age 29 $23,571,428
2029 age 30 $23,571,429
2030 age 31 $23,000,000 *** 2.5M buyout
Call it a $20M AAV through age 30. Basically owed 5/$100M
here are the free agents with 3+ WAR projections:
Soto - age 26 signed for a billion dollars
Bregman - age 31 - 4.0 fWAR projection - unsigned
Burnes - age 30 - 3.9 fWAR projection - unsigned
Snell - age 32 - 3.6 fWAR projection - 5/$182M
Adames - age 29 - 3.5 fWAR projection - 7/$182M
Fried - age 31 - 3.4 fWAR projection - 8/$218M
Kikuchi - age 34 - 3.1 fWAR projection - $21M AAV for three years
Torres - age 28 - 3.0 fWAR projection - unsigned
I mean it's a good trade in light of the FA signings. It's a significantly younger player than Adames, on a much better deal, and they have similar comprehensive projections.
