Jose Reyes could do alright next year too.
I think the way it works is that he's a free agent at the end of this year, even though the Rockies owe him $22,000,000 next year and $4,000,000 the year after that.
What he could do, is sign a multi-year contract that's backloaded, so it only pays the major league minimum in 2017, and "overpays in subsequent years"
He could probably get $15 million for 3 years, weighted like:
2017 600,000 + (23.4 million from Rockies).
2018 600,000 + (3.4 million from Rockies).
2019 13.8 million
I'm not sure if it works that way or not, as I've never seen a useful player with thirty million left on his contract get dumped into free agency.
