I wasn't trying to say Edwin's contract could become as ugly as Pujols, my point was identifying they had near identical seasons around the same age when Pujols really started to decline, emphasizing the potential risk for the next 4-5 years at a high AAV
I literally used Beltran as an example as the other end of the spectrum at the end of my post?
Edit: you said Beltre, my bad. The difference with Beltre is that a lot of his value comes from his defence. He was a steady 130 wRC+ guy (which to his credit he maintained). Edwin is more one-dimensional and last year we saw a reasonable dip in his wRC+ and an inflated K%
