Hmm this will be interesting. If he ends the year strong this will all have played out like the team had expected when they signed him to this crazy contract.
But even so, do they want to commit multi-years at 9 to 10.5M? That's a lot for a reliever. Perhaps enough to find someone similar on the market for cheaper?
On the flipside, did they really sign a TJS guy to a 1 year 2.25M dollar deal knowing that if he doesn't bounce back they will be on the hook for 6.25 the following year too? Seems like a pretty unnecessary risk but maybe Atkins was trying to make a sneaky deadline addition and expected nothing more out of it?
